The Battleship H.M.S. VICTORIA of the British Navy sank at the shores of Tripoli, north of Lebanon, in an unfortunate manoeuvre executed by Admiral Sir George Tryon on the 22nd of June 1893. A disaster hardly accepted by Her Royal Majesty government at that time. The injured pride of the superpower of the world was not to admit such a mistake. The accident was to be categorized in the forgotten records...not for Lebanese-Austrian diver Christian Francis and his team who discovered the wreckage of the VICTORIA in 2006.
