The ship was built as the " Lake Frohna " ( hull number 765 ) at the American Ship Building Company in Lorain , Ohio as a cargo vessel for the United States Shipping Board , and was delivered in June 1919 . In 1924 , she was sold to the Ace Steamship Company and renamed " Ace " . She changed hands again in 1930 , being sold to the Terminals & Transportation Corporation of Duluth . Finally , in 1941 , she became the " Brigadier General M . G . Zalinski " in the employ of the U . S . War Department . Sinking . On 26 September 1946 the " Zalinski " was en route from Seattle to Whittier , Alaska , with a cargo of army supplies when she ran into the rocks of Pitt Island in the Grenville Channel , 55 miles south of Prince Rupert . The ship sank within twenty minutes , while her crew of 48 were rescued by the tug " Sally N " and the passenger steamer SS " Catala " .

Discovery . On 20 September 2003 , the United States Coast Guard Cutter reported an oil slick off Lowe Inlet . It was investigated by the Canadian Coast Guard Ship " Tanu " three days later , which obtained oil samples , but was unable to discover the source . In early October 2003 , a commercial airline pilot reported further pollution . The Canadian Coast Guard confirmed the presence of the slick , and discovered that some three miles of shoreline had been affected . Again , no source was found , and the Coast Guard suspected that the oil could be surfacing from an old wreck . On 30 October 2003 a survey by a remote control underwater vehicle located the wreck . By mid - November , divers had been sent down twice to plug leaks in the hull . When investigations revealed that the ship was the " Brigadier General M . G . Zalinski " , and contained munitions , all operations were halted until an assessment was completed and the site declared safe . In January 2004 a warning was issued ordering mariners to avoid anchoring or fishing within of the wreck , which is about below the surface . The Canadian government is currently developing a plan to remove all the oil and munitions . Cleanup . The vessel has been leaking oil for some time . In May 2012 the " Vancouver Sun " and " Globe and Mail " reported that new concerns over leaking oil have triggered emergency plans to deal with the leaking oil . In July 2013 the Canadian government announced a " significant environmental protection operation " to clean up the wreck site .

Black Sea Naval Force The " Black Sea Naval Force ( BLACKSEAFOR ) " , was created in early 2001 under the leadership of Turkey , with the participation of all other Black Sea littoral states , namely Bulgaria , Romania , Ukraine , Russia and Georgia . The BLACKSEAFOR founding agreement was signed in Istanbul on 2 April 2001 . The original purpose of BLACKSEAFOR was to cooperatively promote security and stability in the Black Sea maritime area and beyond , strengthen friendship and good neighborly relations among the regional States , and increase interoperability among those states ' naval forces . Soft security efforts and military activities , in addition to political dialogue , are being pursued in this framework . Search and rescue operations , environmental protection , and mine - clearing were among the initial activities of BLACKSEAFOR . After the terrorist attacks in the USA on September the 11th , 2001 , BLACKSEAFOR ' s scope of activity was expanded in order to include the fight against terrorism . Littoral countries are still working on BLACKSEAFOR ' s transformation process , in order to better adapt the force to the new security environment . BLACKSEAFOR is an on - call force and currently has no permanent headquarters . It is activated twice yearly and the command structure is based on the principle of rotation . Each littoral assumes leadership for a one - year period . According to the BLACKSEAFOR Agreement , two scheduled activations take place each year . Unscheduled activations can also take place if participation of 4 ships is achieved . Decisions are taken by consensus . BLACKSEAFOR plays a role in preserving security in the Black Sea maritime area . A risk assessment conducted in 2005 by BLACKSEAFOR States stated that although the Black Sea is not fully immune from asymmetric risks , there are no alarming threats in the area with which the littoral states could not cope .

RML 12 inch 35 ton gun RML 12 inch 35 ton guns were large rifled muzzle - loading guns used as primary armament on British battleships . They were the longer and more powerful of the two 12 - inch British RML guns , the other being the 25 - ton gun . Design . This gun design originated in 1871 as an 11 . 6 inch gun firing a 700 - pound shell . Results were unsatisfactory , leading to the gun being bored out to 12 inches and firing a 706 - pound 12 - oz shell . Naval service . Guns were mounted on : Note : The two 12 - inch guns installed in ' s forward turret were 12 . 5 inch 38 - ton guns bored instead to 12 inches , and designated " 12 - inch 38 - ton " , as the necessary 12 - inch 35 - ton guns were not available . These 2 guns used the same charges and projectiles as the standard 12 - inch 35 - ton guns installed in " Thunderer " s aft turret which simplified the supply of ammunition . It was one of these " 12 - inch 38 - ton " guns that was accidentally double - loaded and exploded on 2 January 1879 . Ammunition . The gun ' s primary projectile was 706 - pound " Palliser " armour - piercing shot , which were fired with a " battering charge " of 110 pounds of " P " ( gunpowder ) for maximum velocity and hence penetrating power . Shrapnel and common ( exploding ) shells weighed 613 pounds and were fired with a " full charge " of 85 pounds " P " or 67 pounds " R . L . G . " .
Bramble - class gunboat ( 1886 ) The " Bramble " - class gunboat was a class of four gunboat s mounting six 4 - inch guns , built for the Royal Navy in 1886 . In 1887 the first three were reclassified as gunvessels . Design . The " Bramble " class was designed by William White . The ships were of composite construction , meaning that the iron keel , frames , stem and stern posts were of iron , while the hull was planked with timber . This had the advantage of allowing the vessels to be coppered , thus keeping marine growth under control , a problem that caused iron - hulled ships to be frequently docked . They were in length and displaced 715 tons . Propulsion . Triple - expansion steam engines built by Hawthorn Leslie ( " Rattler " ) , North East Marine Engineering ( " Wasp " ) and Harland & Wolff ( " Lizard " and " Bramble " ) provided 1 , 000 indicated horsepower ( " Rattler " 1 , 200ihp ) through a single screw , sufficient for .

Siege of Kiev ( 968 ) The siege of Kiev by the Pecheneg s in 968 is documented in the Primary Chronicle , whose account freely mixes historical details with folklore . According to the chronicle , while Svyatoslav I of Kiev was pursuing his campaign against the First Bulgarian Empire , the Pechenegs ( in all probability , bribed by Byzantine Emperor Nicephorus Phocas ) invaded Rus and besieged his capital of Kiev . While the besieged suffered from hunger and thirst , Svyatoslav ' s general Pretich deployed his " druzhina " , his personal guard , on the opposite ( left ) bank of the Dnieper , not daring to cross the river against the larger Pecheneg force . Reduced to extremes , Svyatoslav ' s mother Olga of Kiev ( who was in Kiev together with all of Svyatoslav ' s sons ) contemplated surrender , if Pretich did not relieve the siege within one day . She was anxious to send word about her plans to Pretich . At last , a boy fluent in the Pecheneg language volunteered to venture from the city and urge Pretich to action . Pretending to be a Pecheneg , he went about their camp , as if searching for a lost horse . When he attempted to swim across the Dnieper , the Pechenegs discovered his subterfuge and started shooting at him , but to no avail . When the boy reached the opposite bank and informed Pretich about the desperate condition of the Kievans , the general decided to make a sally in order to evacuate Svyatoslav ' s family from the city , for fear of his sovereign ' s anger . Early in the morning , Pretich and his troops embarked on boats across the Dnieper , making great noise with their trumpets . The besieged started cheering , Olga ventured out of the city towards the river . The Pechenegs , thinking that Svyatoslav was returning with his great army , lifted the siege . The Pecheneg leader then decided to confer with Pretich and asked him whether he was Svyatoslav . Pretich admitted that he was only a general but warned the Pecheneg ruler that his unit was a vanguard of Svyatoslav ' s approaching army . As a sign of his peaceful disposition , the Pecheneg ruler shook hands with Pretich and exchanged his own horse , sword and arrows for Pretich ' s armor . As soon as the Pechenegs retreated , Olga sent a letter to Svyatoslav reproaching him for his neglect of the family and people . Upon receiving the message , Svyatoslav speedily returned to Kiev and thoroughly defeated the Pechenegs , who were still threatening the city from the south . The following year Olga died and Svyatoslav moved his capital from distant Kiev to Pereyaslavets in present - day Romania .
