The Royal Yacht Britannia served the British royal family for 44 years, logging over 1 million miles during its many royal vacations and official tours.
In 1997, the Labour government decommissioned the Royal Yacht Britannia due to its high operating cost of £11 million annually, approximately $23 million today.
After its decommissioning, Britannia was transformed into a public museum in Edinburgh, showcasing Queen Elizabeth's bedroom, state rooms, and crew bunks.
The yacht's rich history reflects a significant chapter in British royal heritage, offering insights into royal life at sea before it became a museum.
