EDITORS COMMENTS
The 700 ton steam yacht Rovenska, built in 1911 by Ramage & Ferguson for the Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria, is captured in this photo print. The imperial yacht was named after its owner and served as a symbol of opulence and grandeur during the early 20th century. In this broadside view, the majestic vessel can be seen at anchor off the coast of Cowes, Isle of Wight in England. The skilled craftsmanship of Kirk & Sons is evident in every detail, from the sleek lines to the elegant sailboat design. During World War I, Rovenska took on a new role as a mine sweeper for the Royal Navy. This unexpected transformation showcased her versatility and adaptability amidst turbulent times. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this image, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. It serves as a reminder of an era when steam yachts were symbols of power and prestige. This remarkable print captures not only a magnificent vessel but also tells the story of Archduchess Maria Theresa's passion for maritime exploration. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and our enduring fascination with water transport.
