Untold History : War Ships and Grand Yatchs of HH Albert Baker

raced back in 1848, with 1st purchase of Steam Ship "Johore" by Temenggung Ibrahim.. Sultan Johore have few other great ships traceable back centuries ago:








- Steam Ship "Johore"


- Steam Yatch "S.S Pantie"

- Steam Launches "S.S Duffadar"
- Steam Launches "S.S Phatander"
- Steam Launches "S.S Indau"
- SS Bintayan
- Gun Boat "Sayang"- Gun Boat "ulai"

10 ships belong to HH Albert Baker, mostly for arms and leisure.. and few others 'unnamed vessel' diberi HH Albert Baker untuk digunakan oleh Lingga dan British Singapore for patroling.

Akibat terlalu banyak kapal dia.. all chroniclers failed to identified the exact nos. of his ships.

GRAND YACHT PANTIE recorded in 1883






Peninggalan "S.S Pantie" masih boleh dilihat di museum Abu Bakar.. berupa set2 pinggan dan cawan kristal etched with Royal Johore S.S Pantie emblem.

It is believe, the yatch is the most grandeuer sea yatch even built.. with majestic interiors.  Sisa-sisanya ade kt museum... meleleh air liur aku tengok.. nasik baik x bleh rembat satu.

Kapal2 lain, less majestic.. but, elegant built fit for King.










Phatander Class owned by US 1904


Kapal2 ni serving HH Albert Baker, dan jugak British Singapore, sebab dorang pun kurang kapal dulu.  And.. ade jugak kapal yg relate dgn sejarah Perak.. digunakan utk transport Raja Ismail, dan pesalah2 yg bunuh JWW Bitch. dan Kapal2 ni jugak berkait rapat dgn sejarah negeri2 lain.. mcm Kedah.. Pahang, Selangor and N9.
