Footnotes
HMRY Britannia was designed by GL Watson for HRH the Prince of Wales in 1893. She remained in Royal service, with a brief interlude outside, for 43 years undergoing several changes of rig, until the death of King George V in 1936. She was then stripped of her gear and scuttled off St Catherine's Point, Isle of Wight.
