With my apologies for the limited activity over the last month I want to present today a unique picture related to the state visit that His Imperial Majesty Nicholas II paid to Sweden during the summer of 1909 as the host to His Majesty Gustav V.
On this state visit the Imperial Yacht Standart was accompanied by the Imperial Yacht Polar Star and several cruisers and destroyers belonging to the Baltic Fleet.
On the above picture Standart is the first vessel in the line of vessels positioned diagonally across the river; Polar Star is immediately behind and further in the background several cruisers of the Russian Imperial Navy can be seen.
Positioned behind Standart's stern are four (4) destroyers, apart from providing immediate protection these destroyers ensured a continuing line of communication between the capital St. Petersburg and the Emperor.
Later this week I will post more pictures from this state visit; possibly I will also dedicate some posts to the destroyers that followed Standart on her frequent travels. These destroyers were always around, irrespective whether the Emperor was on official travel or out for leisure.
