That wasn’t the case in 1902, when the SS Olympia docked in London, carrying on board the Maharaja of Jaipur, Sawai Madho Singh II. Accompanying him were 132 servants, a retinue of Hindu priests, and over 600 pieces of luggage. What stood out, however, was the amount of water on board — 8,000 litres, held in two enormous silver urns. The Maharaja’s disembarkment was, as a June 1902 edition of The Globe put it, “a remarkable sight”.
