Description
Dmitry was a Russian cargo ship that was wrecked at Whitby, England, in 1885. The vessel had been travelling from Antwerp, Belgium, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, when she sought safe harbour in Whitby during a gale on 24 October. She escaped rocks outside the harbour but drifted onto a sand bar and was wrecked there the following day. The wreck came to the attention of author Bram Stoker during a visit to the town in 1890 and served as the inspiration for the Demeter in his gothic horror novel Dracula.
