A commemorative album, published for private circulation, documenting a fortnight's yachting cruise of the fjords of Norway aboard the S.S. Ophir in 1905. The Ophir was built by Messrs. R Napier and Sons at Glasgow in 1891, for the Orient Steam Navigation Company. In 1901, she was chartered by the Admiralty and commissioned as a man-of-war in order to carry The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, later King George V and Queen Mary, in their World Tour of that year. The present volume was produced for the benefit of the passengers of cruise 'D' (August 5th to August 18th, 1905); it would appear editions were issued for all the voyages undertaken in the early years of the twentieth-century.
