    An event that happened numerous times during Queen Victoria's reign, where she and some invited dignitaries sit on the Royal Yacht just out in the Portsmouth Harbor and watch the naval power float by. In this instance the some of the elite of the Ottoman Empire, amongst others were the guests who watched as "Wooden Vessels", "Iron Vessels", "Gun Boats" and "Yachts" were paraded as a review of nautical muscle.
