the earthquake at mitylene in the greek archipelago h m s ocean landing provisions for the relief of the sufferers 1867
The great earthquake of February 1867 damaged the building beyond repair and it was demolished; the Turks built a new mosque over the ruins to replace it later in the 19th century. Mytilene (Greek: Μυτιλήνη) is the capital city of Lesbos, a Greek island in the Aegean Sea, and capital of Lesbos Prefecture and the Northern Aegean region. It is built on the southeast edge of the island. Mytilene, whose name is pre-Greek, is also the seat of a metropolitan bishop of the Orthodox church. HMS Ocean was the last of the Royal Navy's Prince Consort class battleships to be completed. In common with her sisters, HMS Prince Consort and Caledonia and her half-sister Royal Oak she was originally laid down as a 91-gun second-rate line-of-battle ship, and was converted during construction to an armoured frigate. The appellation "frigate" relates to the number of guns carried, and is a hold-over from the rating system employed in the Napoleonic era; she would, of course, have been more than a match for any non-armoured ship-of-the-line of any nationality.
