HMY BRITANNIA

                                         
 

His Majesty's Yacht Britannia, also known as the Royal Yacht Britannia, is the former royal yacht of the British monarchy. She was in service from 1954 until 1997. During her 43-year career, the Britannia yacht travelled more than a million nautical miles around the world. 

Yacht Britannia was designed to be converted into a hospital ship in time of war. In the event of nuclear war, it was intended for the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh to take refuge aboard Britannia off the north-west coast of Scotland. Britannia was launched by Queen Elizabeth II on 16 April 1953 and commissioned on 11 January 1954.



On 20 July 1959, Britannia sailed the newly opened Saint Lawrence Seaway en route to Chicago, making the Queen the first British monarch to visit the city. US President Dwight D. Eisenhower was aboard Britannia for part of this cruise; Presidents Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton were welcomed aboard in later years.

During her career as Royal Yacht, she conveyed the Queen, other members of the Royal Family, and various dignitaries on 696 foreign visits and 272 visits in British waters. HMY Britannia, when on royal duties, was escorted by a Royal Navy warship.

Now retired from royal service, yacht Britannia is permanently berthed in Leith in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is a popular visitor attraction with over 300,000 visits each year.
