Britannia Commanded Days Helm Keen Named Sail Sailor Torpedo Owner


EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures King George V (1865-1936) at the helm of his royal yacht, HMY Britannia, during his Silver Jubilee celebrations in 1935. The King, an avid sailor, is seen fully engaged in the sailing experience, dressed in a sailor's uniform and wearing a cap adorned with the royal crown. In his early days, George V had commanded a torpedo boat in the Royal Navy, showcasing his deep-rooted connection to the sea and sailing. The yacht, named Britannia, was a symbol of British maritime power and transport for the monarch and his family. The image, taken circa 1930, depicts the King's unwavering passion for sailing and his dedication to the historical traditions of the British monarchy. The Jubilee celebrations marked the 25th anniversary of George V's reign, making this moment a significant milestone in British history. King George V's love for sailing began during his time in the Navy, where he served as a midshipman and later becoming a first class cruiser commander. His passion for the sea and sailing remained a constant throughout his life, even during his reign as King. This photograph encapsulates the essence of a monarch who, despite his royal duties, found joy and relaxation on the water. The image is a testament to the rich maritime history of Britain and the enduring connection between its monarchy and the sea. The King's presence on the helm of HMY Britannia during his Jubilee celebrations serves as a reminder of the historical significance of the monarchy and its deep-rooted traditions.
