EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the picturesque scene of Pembroke Dock in South Wales during the late 1890s, with the royal yacht Victoria and Albert gracefully anchored in the foreground. The third vessel to bear this esteemed name, the yacht was built in Pembroke Dock and launched in 1899, marking a significant moment in the town's maritime history. The Victoria and Albert, a magnificent symbol of British royalty, was commissioned by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert for their personal use. The yacht's launch was an occasion of great pride and excitement for the people of Pembrokeshire, as they gathered to witness the historic event and catch a glimpse of the royal family. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, with the Victorian-era coastal town bustling with activity. The dockyard workers can be seen busy at work, while the townspeople go about their daily routines. The yacht, with its elegant lines and grandeur, stands out against the backdrop of the Welsh coastline and the vast expanse of the sea. This photograph is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of Pembrokeshire and the significance of Pembroke Dock as a center for shipbuilding and royal history. It is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the proud traditions that continue to shape this beautiful coastal region of Wales.
