Tsar Nicholas II and Admiral Arsenjev aboard the Imperial Yacht Standart






Viktoria of SwedenThis historical card sent to me by my friend Merja shows, Tsar Nicholas II and Admiral Arsenjev aboard the Imperial Yacht Standart waiting for King Gustav V and Queen Viktoria of Sweden.

As I had mentioned in my post dated 14th July 2013, The Russian Imperial Yacht Standart, which served Emperor Nicholas II and his family, was in her time (late 19th/early 20th century) the largest Imperial Yacht afloat.
