The Naval Review: the Queen's Yacht passing Fort Monckton - drawn by S. Read, 1856. Creator: Edmund Evans
The Naval Review: the Queen's Yacht passing Fort Monckton - drawn by S. Read, 1856. Queen Victoria attends a display by warships of the Royal Navy off the coast of Hampshire. The Queen's yacht, emerging from the surrounding smoke, proceeded rapidly past Fort Monckton, meeting everywhere the same enthusiastic reception, and, having rounded into a position to return down the centre line, entered the squadron of gun-boats, disposed in double rows on each side of her course, and majestically proceeded on her way. She glided past the small vessels of the flotilla, passed steam-frigates of various strength and speed, passed the giant screw line-of-battle ships, till she reached the Duke of Wellington, greeted in all directions by the most enthusiastic cheers.
From "Illustrated London News", 1856

Drawn by Samuel Read in 1856, the image captures Queen Victoria's attendance at a grand display of the Royal Navy's warships off the coast of Hampshire, England. The scene unfolds with the Queen's yacht, emerging from a veil of smoke, making its way past Fort Monckton, where it is met with enthusiastic reception from the crowds gathered on the shore. As the yacht passes down the centre line, it glides past various vessels, including small flotillas, steam-frigates, and giant screw line-of-battle ships, all the while receiving heartfelt cheers from the sailors and onlookers. The print beautifully encapsulates the grandeur and majesty of the Royal Navy, with the Queen's yacht taking centre stage amidst the impressive fleet.
