The Journey

Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria-Este (18 December 1863 – 28 June 1914), traveled around the world in 1892-1893. After the suicide of crownprince Rudolf in 1889, Franz Ferdinand was the presumptive heir (given that his father Karl Ludwig had no intention to reign himself) to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The journey around the world had partly medical reasons: Franz Ferdinand’s health was attacked by tuberculosis, a disease fatal to his mother. The journey around the world served both as a cover and as a means to recover. Science was the journey’s official purpose and Franz Ferdinand traveled under the badly disguised alias of Count of Hohenberg on the torpedo ram cruiser „Kaiserin Elisabeth“.
