Kaiser Wilhelm's yacht

Post by susansmiles » Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:41 pm

My grandfather, John Boyne, told us he came to America aboard Kaiser Wilhelm's yacht as a cook's helper. He came to USA in 1895. Does anyone know if the Kaiser's yacht was indeed in Scotland about that time? Where did it leave from? We think he was born in Aberdeen in 1875. Thanks for ANY help.
