Britannia

Moored on the waterfront at Leith, Edinburgh's port north of the city center, is the former royal yacht, Britannia, launched in Scotland in 1953 and now retired to her home country. The royal apartments and the more functional engine room, bridge, galleys, and captain's cabin are all open to view. The land-based visitor center within the huge Ocean Terminal shopping mall has exhibits and photographs about the yacht's history.
