NMS Mircea was a brig of the Romanian Navy, built in London in 1882 and sunk by aircraft in April 1944. The Telos, built in Bangor, Maine in 1883, was reportedly the last brig to join the American merchant marine, and was "considered to be the finest vessel of her class ever constructed in Maine". She was wrecked on Aves Island, off Bonaire in the Caribbean, in 1900.[16]
