Queen Victoria gets cheered by a bunch of crazy sailors

The visit of her majesty Queen Victoria to the Arctic ship 'Resolute' on December 16th, 1856 is commemorated in this image, published by Colnaghi and Company in 1859. Although it is not indicated in the caption, we believe she is attended here by her husband Prince Albert; he died in 1861.
