The visit of Emperor Alexander III and Tsarevich Nicholas in Kiel. 
1892

Here I present a historical set of photographs showing the visit by the Russian Emperor Alexander III, accompanied by his son, Tsarevich Nicholas, on the occasion of the Kiel Regatta (later known as Kiel Week) , an annual sailing event held since 1882.
The first two photographs show general views of the event. These are followed by photographs taken on the Russian Imperial Yacht " Polyarnaya Zvezda" (Polar Star), a military review followed by the arrival of the Imperial Russian launch at a pier, various ships of the realm  and a final close up shot of The Emperor and Tsarevich in the Imperial launch.
