Yuezheng Longya (V4) from Vocaloid

"The heir to the Yuezheng corporation. He has an agile mind and many people look up to him. He is straightforward, but he also possesses the ability to make important decisions correctly and has the strong aura of a leader. His weakness includes troublesome issues, and the only time he's not bothered is when they are related to his younger sister, Yuezheng Ling. He is very protective of her and can become slightly hysterical when dealing with situations related to her. Longya is a postgraduate financial student. He is usually busy since he will take on the family business after he graduates, but still sets aside time for band practice in which he is the leader and drummer. He often disappears whenever trouble occurs, but always returns to clean up the mess. He becomes very intense while playing the drums and people call him "Drum Destroyer" for some reason. For years, due to his black and white theming, fans associated Longya with pandas."

Blocks of HMS Invincible (1744) in situ

On 19 February 1758 Invincible was preparing to leave for Novia Scotia to fight the French.

The crew “hove” the anchor up but it got stuck and broke their capstan (winding equipment). The crew tried to fix the capstan and “hove” some more. The anchor got stuck under the bow of the ship. Now they had not anchor. The Captain found out the ship’s rudder was also stuck. And now they had lost their steering too.

The ship drifted off and got stuck on Dean Sands. The crew tried again and again to refloat the ship, but it was too late. The crew fired cannons and hoisted a light to send out a distress signal and call for help. Three days later, the ship capsized and water poured into the ship, everyone abandoned her and she was declared lost.

Death comes for the empress.
