Britannia, Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II, The Royal Yacht

For the first time in 60 years, the Royal Yacht Britannia’s interior state rooms’ sketches by architect Sir Hugh Casson have been handed over to a trust by his daughter, according to an article in the Daily Mail. To see all the glorious details in the article, click here! The yacht was used by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip from 1953 until 1997, 44 years in service.

From the Daily Mail article, the original rendering of the Duke of Edinburgh's stateroom on the Royal Yacht Britannia.

We toured the yacht when we were in Scotland a few years ago, and it is magical.  I could only dream of touring the empire on such a floating palace.
