EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the grandeur of a bygone era, this vintage print showcases the magnificent Ships Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert gracefully entering Dartmouth in Devon. As the third yacht to bear this illustrious name, she was an epitome of opulence and sophistication. Built at Pembroke Dock, her impressive stature boasted 4,700 tonnes and measured a remarkable 380 feet in length by 40 feet in beam. Throughout her active years leading up to World War II, the Victoria and Albert served as a symbol of regality on the high seas. However, as global conflicts escalated, her purpose shifted from luxury to utility. During WWII, she found herself laid up and repurposed as an accommodation ship in Portsmouth harbour. This image captures a moment frozen in time - an elegant vessel gliding through calm waters against a backdrop of picturesque coastal scenery. The sheer size and majesty of the Victoria and Albert are awe-inspiring; it's no wonder that she held such prominence within royal circles. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. In 1954, after decades of service and countless memories made aboard her decks, the once-mighty Victoria and Albert met its final fate at Fraslane when it was dismantled. This extraordinary photograph transports us back to an era where royal yachts ruled the waves with their regal splendor.
