His Majesty King George V on the Royal Yacht “Victoria and Albert” Inspecting the fleet at the Coronation Review.

His Majesty King George V on the Royal Yacht “Victoria and Albert” Inspecting the fleet at the Coronation Review.

This postcard depicts King George V’s yacht as he visited the international fleet of battleships collected to honor his coronation. Charles C. Myers has drawn an X on the postcard, and indicates that the king was standing approximately under that mark, although he could not discern exactly which person he was during the event. Myers states that his ship, the U.S.S. Delaware, was the only one present from the United States, but was among the most honored.

Comments and Context

In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “Here is the Kings Yacht as he visited the fleet of over 200 battleships from all nations of the world. This picture was taken from on board the U.S.S. Delaware as the Kings yacht passes. The King complimented the U.S.N. for having such ships as the Delaware which he acknowledged was the largest, most magnificent and efficient battleship in all the world. He also complimented the manner in which the Delaware outnumbered all the others in the way of illumination at night, the whole ship being outlined and covered with electric lights. The London Times had a lenghty [sic] article about the illumination of the great fleet of 200 battleships from all nations and referred to the Delaware as being the most magnificent display of them all and appearing as a great flowing fountain brilliantly illuminated.”
