The King of Denmark's New Steam-yacht the "Falkin", 1858. This vessel, the property of his Majesty Frederick VII. King of Denmark, was designed and built by Mr. Charles Langley, of Deptford-green Dockyard [in London]. The following are her dimensions: Length over all, 127 feet; ditto perpendiculars, 107 feet; breadth of beam, 19 feet 6 inches; depth from upper side of the keel, 11 feet 6 inches. Her tonnage, builders measure, is 195 tons. The Falkin is built of the best Staffordshire plate. She is capacious for her tonnage, and her lines and proportions are of great beauty. She has a 24-horse power engine, and has attained a speed on first trial of 10½ knots per hour; fully maintaining the reputation of her builder, who designed and built the boats that arc now carrying so successfully the Cape mails. These vessels, although with remarkably small power for their tonnage, have made quicker passages than vessels with a much larger power that have steamed to the Capo since these vessels have been on the line'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
