HMY Britannia



 HMY Britannia was built at the shipyard of John Brown & Co. Ltd in Clydebank, Dunbartonshire. 

She was launched by Queen Elizabeth II on 16 April 1953, and commissioned on 11 January 1954. The ship was designed with three masts: a 133-foot (41 m) foremast, a 139-foot (42 m) mainmast, and a 118-foot (36 m) mizzenmast. The top aerial on the foremast and the top 20 feet (6.1 m) of the mainmast were hinged to allow the ship to pass under bridges.

She was decommissioned in 1997 and is now a tourist attraction at Ocean Terminal Leith.
