The Royal Visit to India: craft on the Hooghly, from a sketch by one of our special artists, 1876. The future King Edward VII in India: from "The Times" newspaper: "On Wednesday morning (Dec. 22) the telegraph announced that the Serapis and Osborne had been signalled off Saugor, in the mouth of the Hooghly. Thereupon the Lieutenant- Governor of Bengal, accompanied by his Staff, proceeded down the river in his yacht Rhotas to meet the Prince [of Wales] and escort him up to Calcutta. The vessels met at Diamond Harbour, a spot about thirty miles below Calcutta, where they anchored for the night".' From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
