With a new baby expected any day now,many people are thinking about the British Royal Family. Accordingly, it seems fitting to look at the Royal Family's ship, HMYBritannia.
The Britannia was built in the early1950s not to be a pleasure boat for the Royal Family but to assistthe monarch in her duties as head of state by acting as a mobile baseof operations during her visits to foreign lands. Among otherthings, the yacht allowed the Queen to host receptions and banquetsunder the British flag while she was abroad. And the list of foreignheads of state that visited Britannia during her 40 years of serviceis quite impressive, including four United States Presidents.
