Dutch Yacht Kit (Ship in a Bottle)
In 1660, the City of Amsterdam presented a yacht similar to this one to King Charles II of England as part of the Dutch Gift. Delighted by the gesture, the King initiated special regattas for this type of vessel and introduced the term "Yacht," derived from the Dutch word "Jaghtschip," meaning "fast pirate ship."
