Specialist note

The Royal Yacht Squadron's schooner Gelert was owned by Colonel Edward Loyd of West Cowes from 1866 to 1870. In 1871, he purchased the yacht The Daydream which remained in his ownership until 1876. Both yachts were painted by Haughton Forrest and it is likely that they were commissioned by Loyd when the artist was living in West Cowes between 1870-1871.
