EDITORS COMMENTS
The Russian Imperial Yacht Standart graces the waters of Cowes during a historic visit to England in 1909. This photo print, captured by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, showcases the grandeur and elegance of this magnificent vessel. Commissioned by Emperor Alexander III of Russia and constructed at the renowned Danish shipyard Burmeister & Wain, Standart was launched in 1895 as a symbol of imperial power. The yacht became synonymous with luxury and sophistication, serving as a floating palace for the Russian Imperial family. During their stay on the Isle of Wight for Cowes Week, an iconic sailing event, the Romanovs made use of this regal vessel to explore English waters. As seen in this image, Standart proudly displays its flags while anchored off Cowes, surrounded by other boats participating in races. The photograph beautifully captures not only the majestic presence of Standart but also highlights its starboard bow against a monochrome backdrop. It serves as a testament to both maritime engineering prowess and opulent royal lifestyles. This remarkable piece from Heritage Images transports us back to an era when steam yachts were symbols of power and prestige. It offers viewers a glimpse into history - an enchanting moment frozen in time.
