Pliny the Younger's Uncle, Pliny the Elder, died during the eruption while attempting to rescue stranded victims. As Admiral of the fleet, Pliny the Elder had ordered the ships of the Imperial Navy stationed at Misenum to cross the bay to assist evacuation attempts. He perished with the others in Pompeii.
