Légende
The Opening of the Baltic Canal: arrivals at Hamburg, 1895. 'The ships which our artist has selected for the Supplement commemorative of the opening of the Baltic [ie Kiel] Canal are among the finest afloat. First to be named is the yacht of the German Emperor, the Hohenzollern, which happily is no stranger to English waters. Next in personal interest to us is the royal yacht Osborne, which carries the nautical Duke of York as representative of the British throne. The splendid Royal Sovereign shows how Britannia still rules the waves. The Maria Theresa, the Sardegna, the Hoche, and the other ships illustrated in the picture are visible tokens of existing international amity'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
