Hi, While it is a good effort to try and show case the former Royal Yacht they photos would be better for those looking if you had added labels to them so viewers would know where they are. Here is the official website: http://www.royalyachtbritannia.co.uk/history/
Still can't find a picture of Brittania with her Squaresa'ls on the foremast. When I was at school, we had a very early photo of her up on the wall with the mast showing the sails. An ex-pupil, Sir Hugh Casson, was one of the designers and gave the school the picture. Anyone else remember this shortlived adornment?
Geez, that is certainly a gay binnacle! What would Lord Kelvin think of his balls being displayed in such a gaudy fashion?
Think of the poor helmsman, tucked down below, seeing nothing ahead of him (only a porthole to Port) and being guided by those balls above. Hey, hang on. Does any of this sound familiar?
