A General Description of Motor Yacht MAHROUSSA

Samuda Brothers finished building motor yacht MAHROUSSA in 1865. Accordingly, she has the distinction of being built country of the United Kingdom. MAHROUSSA had yacht design work completed by Samuda Brothers and Oliver Lang and Samuda Brothers.

SS MAHROUSSA (Guarded by God's blessings) is a graceful 478 ft iron hulled yacht built in England in 1865 by the Samuda Brothers of Poplar, London for the ruler of Egypt, Khedive Ismail Pasha and was the Egyptian royal yacht until the monarchy was overthrown in 1952. After the abdication of the King she was used as a naval training ship by the Egyptian government and renamed El Horria (Al Horreyya) and has since served in that role and also as the presidential yacht. The yacht is considered to be an historical shrine by the Egyptian Navy at Alexandria. Her greatest claim to historical fame - she was the first ship leading the procession through the brand new Suez Canal in 1869. During the 19th century she was cut in two and had approximately 40 ft added to her length. She was rebuilt in 1905/6 in Italy and became one of the earliest ships of any size to be fitted with steam turbines. She was more recently refitted in the late 1940s/early 1950s in Italy and was recently reboilered in Alexandria.
