Caption Reads: Arrival of the Queen at Kingstown: The " Majestic " and the " Magnificent " manned and dressed rainbow fashion

From a sketch by Mr AWB Messenger, RN
[Transcriber's Note: A Paymaster according to the Navy List for 1914]

As the Royal Yacht " Victoria and Albert " preceded by the Trinity House yacht and followed by the Royal Yacht " Osborne " and an escort of two cruisers, H.M.S. " Australia " and " Galatea " sailed in, the crews of the ships gave three cheers and sand " God Save the Queen." The three (sic) yachts proceeded into Kingstown Harbour and anchored, while the cruisers anchored with the fleet.
