Sadleir 51. Anthony Trollope joined the Mastiff, the yacht belonging to his friend John Burns (later Lord Inverclyde), for its voyage to Iceland. The party departed from Castle Wemyss, sailing to Reykjavik, and returning via the Faroe Islands. The two real photographs show the yacht, and a group portrait of the “Mastiffs” including Trollope and Burns, who presented this copy of the book.
