HMY Royal George was a Royal Yacht of the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom, launched 1817, and last used in 1842. She became an accommodation hulk in 1902, and was broken up in 1905.[1] Gilded dolphins and rope ornament from the yacht were reused as decoration in the principal bedroom of Adelaide Cottage in Home Park Windsor.[2]
