Sinking Of The Teleorman
On October 31, 1912, the longboat ''Teleorman'', a Romanian Navy vessel, was traveling on the Danube from Călărași to Ostrov. On board were 44 border guards stationed at Predeal, on the frontier with Austria-Hungary. In addition, a civilian mechanic, a stoker, a corporal and two sergeants were on the boat.

The troops were thrown to that side, causing the boat to overturn and sink.
