I found two things very interesting from watching the movie "Dracula."

First, the schooner Vesta, which supposedly transported Count Dracula and his coffins from Transylvania to England was an actual ship which did wreck. I found the following information on the internet.

Schooner Vesta, lost in the gale of August 1837, crew of seven men, viz.: Josiah H. Fears, master George Goodrich Edward Prindall David Butler William Mason Edward Bell and one other whose name we could not learn. Valued at $2,000; insured for $1,000.

There was also a brig named Vesta which wrecked:

Heavy sou'west gale 23 March 1866.   The schooner ELECTRIC FLASH, of Hayle, with a cargo of coal loaded at Porthcawl, was driven ashore at Port Eynon and became a total loss. Her crew were saved by a boat which put off from the village. The brig VESTA, of Whitby, was anchored in Mumbles roads when she parted her cables and drove onto the Greengrounds where she sank. The lifeboat Martha & Anne was launched and Cox'n Jenkins took her in over the wreck to snatch the crew of seven from the fore rigging. This was the first service of the Mumbles lifeboat - the two earlier rescues had been performed by lifeboats stationed in Swansea.

Second, I was not familiar with the term "Walpurgis Night" so I went to Wikipedia and read:

In Germany, Walpurgisnacht, the night from 30 April to 1 May, is the night when witches are reputed to hold a large celebration on the Brocken and await the arrival of spring.

Walpurgis Night (in German folklore) the night of 30 April (May Day's eve), when witches meet on the Brocken mountain and hold revels with their gods..."

That can be found here:
