The Naval Review: the Queen's Yacht passing Fort Monckton - drawn by S. Read, 1856. Queen Victoria attends a display by warships of the Royal Navy off the coast of Hampshire. 'The Queen's yacht, emerging from the surrounding smoke, proceeded rapidly past Fort Monckton, meeting everywhere the same enthusiastic reception, and, having rounded into a position to return down the centre line, entered the squadron of gun-boats, disposed in double rows on each side of her course, and majestically proceeded on her way. She glided past the small vessels of the flotilla, passed steam-frigates of various strength and speed, passed the giant screw line-of-battle ships, till she reached the Duke of Wellington, greeted in all directions by the most enthusiastic cheers. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
