EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical photograph captures a momentous occasion as the Royal Yacht Alberta, with King Edward VII on board, leads the SS Ophir out of Portsmouth harbour in March 1901. The Duke of Cornwall and York (the future King George V) and his wife were embarking on a world tour of the Dominions aboard the Ophir, making this image a significant piece of royal history.
The grandeur of the Royal Yacht Alberta is evident as it sails gracefully ahead, with King Edward VII standing proudly on deck. The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York can be seen aboard the Ophir, ready to set off on their journey across the seas to visit various parts of the British Empire.
The black-and-white tones add a sense of nostalgia to this historic moment captured over a century ago. It's truly remarkable to witness such an important event in British royal history frozen in time through this photograph.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to that fateful day in March 1901 when two majestic ships set sail from Portsmouth harbour towards new adventures awaiting them across the vast oceans. This image serves as a reminder of Britain's rich maritime heritage and its enduring connection to its royal lineage.
