Kinburn - the "Curacoa" and "Tribune" Steam-frigates, and "Beagle" Gun-boat, in the Ice, 1856. Crimean War, Black Sea, British ships: '...the Curacoa and Tribune steam frigates, and Beagle gun-boat, beset with an immense floe of ice, with the Captain in his galley trying to get on board. Behind the Isle of Berezan there is an extensive lake from whence the new gale most likely brought the ice out. The Curacoa and Tribune left for the Bosphorus on the 17th Dec., delighted to bid adieu to Kinburn'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
