October 1859 CE
The steamship Royal Charter, approaching the end of her voyage from Melbourne to Liverpool,
is wrecked on the coast of Anglesey, Wales, on October 26, 1859, with four hundred and fifty-four dead, the highest death toll of any shipwreck on the Welsh coast.
It is the most prominent victim among about two hundred ships wrecked by the so-called Royal Charter Storm (also known as the Great storm of 1859).
