Fort Schlosser Fort Schlosser was a fortification built in Western New York in the USA around 1760 by British Colonial forces , in order to guard the upper entrance to the portage around Niagara Falls , near the Porter - Barton Dock . It was named for its first commander , Captain Joseph Schlosser of the Royal American Regiment of Foot , a practice that was common in the British Army . The fort consisted of a wood stockade with several structures within : Four cannons provided protection for the fort . The fort replaced Fort Petite Niagara , a small fortification built by the French which was burned by the retreating French prior to the Siege of Fort Niagara in 1759 . The Old Stone Chimney from Fort Little Niagara was incorporated into Fort Schlosser . Fort Grey guarded the end of the portage in Lewiston , NY . Fort Niagara guards the mouth of the Niagara where it flows into Lake Ontario . Fort Schlosser was occupied by American troops at the start of the War of 1812 , but was captured in 1813 and burned .

HMS Prince of Wales ( 1860 ) HMS " Prince of Wales " was one of six 121 - gun screw - propelled first - rate three - decker line - of - battle ships of the Royal Navy . She was launched on 25 January 1860 . In 1869 she was renamed HMS " Britannia " and under that name served at Dartmouth as a cadet training ship until 1905 . History . The " Prince of Wales " was originally a 3 , 186 ton 120 gun design by John Edye and Isaac Watts for a modified " Queen " - class sailing line - of - battle ship . She was laid down at Portsmouth on 10 June 1848 , though she was not formally ordered until 29 June , and the design was approved on 28 July 1848 . In 1849 , the Royal Navy started ordering screw line - of - battle ships starting with the " Agamemnon " . It is possible that construction of " Prince of Wales " was suspended , as screw line - of - battle ships laid down after her , were completed before her . " Prince of Wales " was reordered to complete as a 121 gun screw line - of - battle ship on 9 April 1856 , conversion work started on 27 October 1856 . Her half - sisters " Duke of Wellington " and " Royal Sovereign " were lengthened with an extra 23 ft amidships and 8 ft in the run , and originally it was intended that " Marlborough " and " Prince of Wales " would be converted to the same plans , but they were further lengthened during construction . Her engines were 800 nhp Penn two - cylinder ( 82 inch diameter , 4 ft stroke ) horizontal single expansion trunk engines . She was launched on 25 January 1860 , and did her trials at sea in Stokes Bay on 31 October 1860 unrigged . She made an average of 12 . 569 knots ( 23 . 293 km / h ) . " Prince of Wales " was completed towards the end of the unarmoured phase of a naval arms race between Britain and France . In 1860 the Royal Navy had more wooden steam line - of - battle ships than it needed to man in peacetime . The Royal Navy ' s first armoured line - of - battle ship , " Warrior " was commissioned in 1861 . Unarmoured screw line - of - battle ships were still of value in the early to mid - 1860s , and several new screw line - of - battle ships were commissioned in the 1860s . In 1867 , the " Prince of Wales " s engines were removed so they could be installed in the ironclad " Repulse " . In 1869 she was renamed " Britannia " and began service as a cadet training ship at Dartmouth , replacing the previous " Britannia " in that role . As " Britannia " , she was a hulk , and only had her foremast . Among those starting their naval career on her was , in 1877 , the future Admiral and First Sea Lord Rosslyn Wemyss . A shore - based college at Dartmouth was opened in September 1905 and this was named " Royal Naval College , Dartmouth " . The " Britannia " training establishment was closed at the same time . A new " King Edward VII " - class battleship called " Britannia " was launched in December 1904 . The former " Prince of Wales " was officially hulked in September 1909 , sold to Garnham on 23 September 1914 , then resold to Hughes Bolckow arriving at Blyth in July 1916 for breaking up .
HMS Montague ( 1654 ) Lyme was a 52 - gun third rate frigate built for the navy of the Commonwealth of England at Portsmouth , and launched in 1654 . After the Restoration in 1660 she was renamed HMS " Montague " . She was widened in 1675 and underwent her first rebuild in 1698 at Woolwich Dockyard as a 60 - gun fourth rate ship of the line . Her second rebuild took place at Portsmouth Dockyard , from where she was relaunched on 26 July 1716 as a 60 - gun fourth rate to the 1706 Establishment . " Montague " was broken up in 1749 .

By 1889 , Russky Island , with its Fort Pospelov , formed part of the defences of the fortress city of Vladivostok as developed by Colonel K . I . Velichko . Over several years , the initial temporary wooden structures were replaced by stone . In 1992 , four soldiers serving in the island ' s isolated garrison starved to death and dozens of others were hospitalized suffering from starvation . Their commanders had failed to send them rations for months and the matter became a national scandal . Development .
