The Alexander Neuski was a large screw frigate of the Russian Imperial Navy.At 5,100 tons, and mounting 51 smoothbore cannon, it was a large vessel for its class.On September 25, 1868, on its way home from a visit to Piraeus,she struck a sandbar, and its masts and some of the ship's cannons had to be pitched into the sea to prevent the vessel from immediately capsizing.At the time she was carrying the Grand Duke Alexei, son of Czar Alexander II.The warship eventually sank, the wreck settling in roughly 60 feet of water, only 300 feet from the present coast of Thyborøn
