The Duke of Cornwall and York's Colonial Tour - Departure of the Ophir from Portsmouth, 1901
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a historic moment as the royal yacht HMS Ophir sets sail from Portsmouth Harbour in Hampshire. The year is 1901, and the Duke of Cornwall and York (future King George V) embarks on an extraordinary journey alongside his wife Princess Victoria Mary of Teck (future Queen Mary). This grand tour takes them across the vast British Empire, visiting numerous countries along the way. As ships adorned with colorful flags line the harbor, a sense of excitement fills the air. Crowds gather to wave off their beloved royals, bidding them farewell on this remarkable expedition. The image captures not only a departure but also symbolizes Britain's colonial power during that era. The significance of this voyage cannot be overstated. From Gibraltar to Canada and many places in between – including Malta, Ceylon, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa – these destinations represent both distant lands under British rule and flourishing trade routes connecting nations far apart. This photograph serves as a testament to an age defined by exploration and imperial ambition. It transports us back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history when Britain's influence stretched across continents. With its rich symbolism and historical context preserved within its frame, this image stands as a reminder of an era long gone but never forgotten.
