Description:
The Royal Yacht Britannia is one of the world's most famous ships. Launched at
John Brown's Shipyard in Clydebank in 1953, the Royal Yacht proudly served Queen
and country for forty-four years. During that time Britannia carried The Queen
and the Royal Family on 968 official voyages, from the remotest regions of the
South Seas to the deepest divides of Antarctica.
At the beginning of January 1997, Britannia set sail from Portsmouth to Hong
Kong on her last and longest voyage. On 11 December 1997 Britannia was
decommissioned at Portsmouth Naval Base in the presence of The Queen, The Duke
of Edinburgh and fourteen senior members of The Royal Family.
Four months later, after intense competition from cities around the UK, the
Government announced that Edinburgh was successful in its bid to become
Britannia's new home. She is now owned by The Royal Yacht Britannia Trust, a
charitable organisation whose sole remit is the maintenance of Britannia in
keeping with her former role. Britannia is now permanently moored in Edinburgh's
historic port of Leith and visitors can step on board the ship that was once
home to the world's most famous family.
Location:
Britannia sailed over one million miles before making Edinburgh's historic port
of Leith her final home.
