War cemetery at Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
A small cemetery on the shore of Avacha Bay, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky containing the graves of Rear Admiral Price (C-in-C Pacific) and 13 British and French seamen who died during the siege of the town in August-September 1854. Rear- Admiral Price shot himself on 30 August 1854. The men were roughly buried but the crew of HMS Trincomalee (1817) returned in 1855 and reburied the bodies, creating this little cemetery.
