Career

Queen Victoria made her first cruise in her on 12 July 1855.[1] On 3 June 1859, Victoria and Albert ran aground in the Scheldt whilst on a voyage from Gravesend, Kent to Antwerp, Belgium.[2]

Queen Victoria lent the ship to Empress Elisabeth of Austria for her cruise to Madeira in 1860.[3]

The ship was used by Prince Arthur on the occasion of his visit to Heligoland in 1872.[4]

Queen Victoria sent the ship to Vlissingen to ferry Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Germany accompanied by his wife Victoria, their three youngest daughters, Professor Gerhardt, two court officials and two ladies-in-waiting across the Channel to be treated of his throat illness in England by Dr. Mackenzie. They alighted in Sheerness on 15 June 1887.[5]

Victoria and Albert was replaced by Шаблон:Ship in 1901 and scrapped in about 1904.

Шаблон:Ship was built to the same specifications for Isma'il Pasha, the Khedive of Egypt in 1865 and survives today, although heavily altered.
