The biggest ship catastrophy ever happend, was the loss of an entire Roman fleet returning from Carthago in a storm. The Romans lost 100k men.

@laisphinto6372 255 before 0, Sicily Strait at Kamarina, 384 ships (a hundred prizes), loss of around 100k men. There is no comparable catasprophe except the Mongolian Invasionfleet for Japan, the same fate, the Japanese called it Kamikaze, divine storm, around 70k men lost.

@ManiusCuriusDenatus i would have to check my library or gugel. The difference between Rome and Carthargo was the Roman selfestimation as a territorial power. Carthago was a centre of merchants like Venice or the Hanse. Without territorial background there is no chance to survive.

@ostlandr There was no battle, which ended the era of Vikings. The Vikings establshed themselves in conquered kingdoms. For example Edinburgh (means Odinsburg = Odin's castle) is a northmen-foundation. The introduction of christianity which changed the rule from first among equals to rule by divine mercy and centralised the power of nordic kingdoms similar to the Franconians.
