The ''Diana'' was damaged by a tsunami while anchored in Shimoda harbor on 1854/11/4.<ref>Ishin Shiryô Kôyô 維新史料綱要, vol 1 (1937), 667.</ref> While making its way to [[Heda]] (on Suruga Bay) to be repaired, the ship encountered difficult weather and ended up shipwrecked at Ipponmatsu (in what is today Numazu City, [[Shizuoka prefecture]]) on 11/27. The ship sank entirely on 12/2; surviving members of the crew were provided temporary lodgings at Miyajima (in what is today Fuji City, Shizuoka) until they were relocated to Heda village, where they were granted permission to build a new vessel.<ref>Ishin Shiryô Kôyô 維新史料綱要, vol 1 (1937), 676, 679.</ref>

Sailors from the ''Diana'' were later granted passage on the German merchant ship ''[[Greta]]'', but the ''Greta'' was then captured near the mouth of the [[Amur River]] by the [[HMS Barracouta|HMS ''Barracouta'']] sometime in early to mid-[[1855]].<ref>Ishin Shiryô Kôyô 維新史料綱要, vol 1 (1937), 88.</ref>
