 They later returned to the palace to retrieve jewels (including the blue Sultan of Morocco Diamond, the Polar Star Diamond, and a pair of diamond earrings that once belonged to Marie-Antoinette) and two paintings by Rembrandt, the sale proceeds of which helped sustain the family in exile.The paintings were bought by Joseph E. Widener in 1921 and are now in the National Gallery in Washington, DC.In Crimea, the family boarded a British warship, HMS "Marlborough", which took them from Yalta to Malta.
