The young princess Victoria leaving Devonport in the 'Emerald' yacht, as seen from Barnpool. The excursion was nearly a tragic one: when the yacht failed to stop in the Hamoaze stretch of the River Tamar (which flows past Devonport Dockyard) it was carried under a hulk, damaging the mainmast which fell onto the deck, only narrowly missing the princess. Lithograph by Paul Gauci, whose originally watercolour is in the Royal Collection as part of a scrapbook compiled by Victoria.
