| Description | The Crimean Tartar Saloon, SY 'Livadia', 1880. |
| Details |
Crimean Tartar Saloon on Czar Alexander II's steam yacht 'Livadia', built at John Elder's shipyard, Govan, in 1880. Extremely lavishly fitted out, this yacht was given a radical design, supposedly based on the shape of a turbot. This flat fish design, 235 foot long, 153 foot wide at it's beamiest and with only 6 foot draught, was very unsuccessful, with passengers complaining of extreme seasickness. The 'Livadia' was broken up in 1927.
