The Royal George was a grand transport sailing vessel, commissioned for the use of the British monarchy, and was one of the largest and most luxurious yachts of its time. King George IV, who reigned from 1820 to 1830, was an avid sailor and spent much of his time aboard the Royal George, which was fitted with the latest technological advancements and luxurious amenities to ensure the comfort and pleasure of the monarch and his guests.
