The Kaiser's Yacht, the "Hohenzollern," leading the procession through the Canal, 1895. 'English sentiment is disposed to look favourably upon the successful accomplishment of the work undertaken by the German Empire in the reign of the aged and illustrious William I., after whom it is henceforth named the "Kaiser Wilhelm Canal," which was opened by his grandson, the present Emperor William II., grandson also of our own Queen, a few days ago. The presence of the Duke of York, on board the royal yacht Osborne, representing her Majesty Queen Victoria, among the Kings and Princes, Archdukes, Grand Dukes, and other sovereigns or near relatives of foreign royalties, whose vessels followed the German imperial steam-yacht Hohenzollern in the inland passage from sea to sea, was a becoming official token of sympathy with the Emperor's just satisfaction in the achievement of this grand and patriotic design...There seems now reason to expect as one of the consequences of German imperial union a large increase of traffic not only at Hamburg and Bremen...but also at the ports of the Baltic coast; and it is likely that English shipowners will gain considerable advantage by the opening of the new maritime canal'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
