HMY Victoria and Albert

HMY "Victoria and Albert" was a twin paddle steamer launched 25 April 1843. It functioned as a Royal Yacht of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom, owned and operated by the Royal Navy. She laid down in 1842 at Pembroke Dock and was designed by Symonds. She was 1,034 tons in displacement, carried two guns, and was the first royal yacht to be steam powered, being fitted with a 430 hp engine.

She made twenty voyages. After the launch on 16 January 1855 of HMY "Victoria and Albert II", she was renamed the "Osborne". She was scrapped in 1868.
