The Embarkation of Prince Alfred on board the "Euryalus" on Wednesday week - from a sketch by V. Jones, 1858. Naval cadet Alfred, accompanied by his father Prince Albert, is introduced to the (Royal Navy) service and makes his first voyage to sea. 'On approaching the Euryalus that ship manned yards, as did Rear-Admiral t'Hooft's Dutch squadron, and a grand general salute followed. Prince Albert and Prince Alfred were received by Captain Tarleton and the full staff of the ship with all the honours due to Royalty, and entertained by him at luncheon in the state cabin...The young Prince appeared in good spirits, and was quickly at home with the young gentlemen serving in the frigate...it may be interesting to those young gentlemen who are studying to enter the navy, and others already admitted and serving, to know that Prince Alfred will enjoy no immunity from his Royal rank-that his outfit is no better nor more extensive than theirs. The Prince slings his hammock on the lower deck and berths himself therein the same as the other cadets...Our Sketch...was taken when the Dutch Admiral was making a complimentary speech to the Prince Consort on Prince Alfred joining the navy. Prince Alfred stands between the Prince of Wales and his father'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
