Her Majesty's Royal Squadron: A Seafaring Tribute to Monarchs Past Witness the grandeur of Her Majesty's Royal Squadron, a historic maritime force that once carried monarchs across the seas. From the entrance into Dartmouth Harbour, as depicted in an engraving, to the departure for Scotland, where the court set sail under the watchful eyes of the fleet, the Royal Squadron's journey was a testament to the power and prestige of the British monarchy. The return of the Prince of Wales, with the Royal Squadron entering the Solent, was a sight to behold, as the ships' sails billowed in the wind, carrying the hopes and dreams of the people. The tranquil moonlit view of Mont Orgeuil Castle in Jersey, with the Royal Squadron lying at anchor, offers a serene contrast to the hustle and bustle of the sea. Her Majesty's Cruise, with the Royal Squadron leaving the Isle of Wight, was a much-anticipated event, as the monarch and her court set sail for new adventures. The salute of the Royal Squadron on its leaving Belfast Lough, as depicted in an engraving, was a display of loyalty and respect, as the people of Carrickfergus bid farewell to their sovereign. The engravings of Queen Victoria's visits to Cork and Jersey show the monarch in her element, surrounded by the beauty of the sea and the loyalty of her subjects. The Royal Squadron was not just a means of transportation, but a symbol of power, prestige, and unity, connecting the monarch to her people and her realm.
