Sad, though it's amazing that she lasted so long, about 100 years. I don't know the year of her build but from the kind of reproduction and the paper used ( I am a restoration bookbinder in another incarnation though not active at present), the pic dates before 1894-5 and probably from The Yachting World.

Shame as at the time that they were still rescuable no one was interested , not like the resurgence we are now experiencing.

Quite possible with the family connections in the Royal Yacht club, practically all the Royal families in europe and Scandinavia were cousins via Victoria and Albert. I think you are right about Moonbeam, but it seems a a rather large boat for the normal tender. Jeff “Heartsease” Supplement to the Yachtsman No 654, October 1903
