The Crimean Tartar Saloon, SY Livadia, 1880

Engraving of the Crimean Tartar Saloon on Czar Alexander IIs steam yacht Livadia, built at John Elders shipyard, Govan, in 1880. Extremely lavishly fitted out, this yacht was given a radical design, supposedly based on the shape of a turbot. This flat fish design, 235 foot long, 153 foot wide at its beamiest and with only 6 foot draught, was very unsuccessful, with passengers complaining of extreme seasickness. The Livadia was broken up in 1927

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the opulence of the Crimean Tartar Saloon on Czar Alexander II's steam yacht Livadia, built at John Elder's shipyard in Govan, Scotland, in 1880. The Livadia was an engineering marvel, boasting a radical design based on the shape of a turbot, a flat fish. Measuring an impressive 235 feet long and 153 feet wide at its beamiest point, with a mere 6-foot draught, the Livadia was a sight to behold. However, the flat fish design proved to be extremely unsuccessful, as passengers endured extreme seasickness due to the instability caused by the shallow draught. Despite its size and costly fit-out, which included the Crimean Tartar Saloon, the Livadia was broken up in 1927. The saloon, with its intricate decorative details, was one of the most lavishly appointed spaces on the yacht. The Livadia's history is a testament to the challenges of naval engineering in the late 19th century, as designers sought to push the boundaries of what was possible in ship design. The Livadia's flat fish design was supposedly inspired by the shape of the turbot, a flat fish that was abundant in the waters of the Black Sea. The yacht's unconventional shape, combined with its shallow draught, made for a unique and innovative design, but ultimately proved to be impractical for long-term use. This engraving provides a glimpse into the grandeur of the Crimean Tartar Saloon on the Livadia, a reminder of the historical significance and the triumphs and failures of maritime engineering.
