English: Yacht decorated for the Royal Visit in 1927
Mr Harold Exton's yacht, Dora, which was awarded first prize for best illuminated and designed yacht on the Brisbane River at the Venetian Carnival, held in honour of the visit of the Duke and Duchess of York, 11 April 1927. The chief feature of Dora's decoration was the portrayal of Britannia riding the waves. Huge shields were fastened on each mast, depicting the Union Jack and Australian flag entwined and the centre feature was the White Rose of York. At the masthead were fixed bright starlight electric lights, forming a Southern Cross. The water-line of the yacht was decked in variegated coloured streamers. The electrical decorations were carried out by Messrs Norman Bell & Co. Ltd. (Description supplied with photograph.). |
