Weekly Snaps
20 December 2024
Photography has always played an important role on Britannia. While she was in service, there was always a 'Yottie' appointed, nicknamed 'Snaps', to take photographs of life on board the Royal Yacht.
In keeping with this tradition, we now have our own Photographer in Residence, who has been capturing our very own Weekly 'Snaps' - a collection of snapshots of life around the ship today.

The gleaming Engine Room was the very heart of the ship, housing two engines that carried Britannia over one million nautical miles around the globe.
