It’s arguaby one of the poshest things to ever come out of Glasgow.
Built by workers at the John Brown shipyard in Clydebank, the Royal Yacht Britannia was launched on the Clyde on this day in 1953.
Fit for a Queen, the yacht was the epitome of glamour. The 5,769-ton vessel carried a crew of 22 officers and 254 men and boasted a luxurious honeymoon suite that was used by royal newlyweds including Prince Charles and Diana. There is even a Welmar baby grand piano firmly bolted to the deck.
