Lot Essay

The Royal Yacht Hohenzollern II was built in 1892 by the shipbuilder A.G. Vulcan in Stettin, which was at that time part of the Prussian Empire. The steamboat, which was 122 m. in length and had a width of 14 m., served a dual purpose. It was both a recreational- and a naval command vessel, combining lavish interiors with special cannons which had been a gift from the renowned industrialist Alfred Krupp.
