She certainly was changed under the Communists, and her mission was mine laying; not providing champagne and caviar........DFO

Re: Imperial Royal Yachts
Fascinating, I never even thought that the Tsar might have a yacht. Do you know where she was built? and kept? if she was at Sevastopol (Crimea/Black Sea) this would be a more logical place that St. Petersburg where the winters are cruel The Tsars lived at the Livadia Palace in the Crimea in the summers, their family lived in a chain of palaces along the coast near Yalta.
thanks for this insight

Re: Imperial Royal Yachts
IIRC, she was built in Denmark. Most of the in port pics were taken at Sevastopol. However, here is one from Yalta.
