1st Bn, Royal Berkshire Regiment - A sepia photograph of the wreck of the ship H.M.S. Sultan which ran aground off Comino, Malta in 1889. In white civilian suits on board are Lieutenant H.E.Taylor, Lieutenant G.H. Arbuthnot and Lieutenant H. Fitzherbert. [On 6 March 1889 HMS Sultan grounded on an uncharted rock in the Comino Channel between Malta and Gozo, ripping her bottom open. She slowly flooded and, in a gale on 14 March 1889, she slipped off the rock and sank. She was raised in August by the Italian firm of Baghino & Co for a fee of £50,000. After temporary repairs she was brought home to Portsmouth, undergoing modernisation and repair until 1896. She served in the reserve until 1906, when she was partially dismantled and became an artificers' training ship under the name of Fisgard IV; in 1931 she was further converted into a mechanical repair ship, regaining her original name of Sultan. During World War 2 she was a depot ship for minesweepers at Portsmouth, and was sold in 1947.]
