When Iceland celebrated 1,000 years of settlement in 1874, the king of Denmark, Christian IX, paid a visit to the island as its sovereign. A small naval division was formed for the journey across the North Atlantic, consisting of the steam frigate <i>Jylland</i> and the steam corvette <i>Heimdal</i>. The King was lodged aboard the <i>Jylland</i>. Baagøe's painting had suffered some damage to the area above the masts.</div>
