The wreck of the Dmitry
The wreck of the Dmitry
  • ... that the 1885 wreck of the cargo ship Dmitry (pictured) was the inspiration for the arrival of Count Dracula in England in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel?
  • Source: "Stoker was inspired by the shipwreck of a Russian schooner, the Dmitry, which was wrecked in a storm in October 1885 on the sands just below St Mary’s Churchyard and Whitby Abbey. In Stoker’s imagination, the ship is renamed the Demeter and carries Dracula and his coffins of Transylvanian soil to Whitby." from: "How did a Yorkshire seaside town inspire one of Britain's most famous novels?".

Thanks for the review. No idea on the ship name, I guessed there might be other ships of that name but if not I guess it could be moved. The image I found on Commons, happy for it to run without anyway - Dumelow (talk) 12:25, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The image was colorised-I concur as above that colorised photos shouldn't be used because they give false impression and raise copyvio concerns. Blythwood (talk) 00:39, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blythwood, the image already existed at Commons. If it's possibly still in copyright it should be nominated for deletion there. Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 10:57, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ignore me, I see you've already nominated. I couldn't find a copy on Commons of the original version, but there's a few versions coming up on Google Image search- Dumelow (talk) 10:59, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
