This is one of the options for the yacht "Britain", which today stands in jail in the Edinburgh port of Leith. It was built in 1951, and for 45 years the yacht belonged to the royal family. The monarchs made visits throughout the country, and the royal couple performed a honeymoon on Britain. Today the yacht is a museum.
In brief, the history of Britain is as follows: in the middle of the 20th century, Queen Elizabeth participated in the descent of the yacht and declared that she called it "Britain." This ship - one of the most famous in the world - has in total surmounted a million miles. It was on it that Elizabeth II made an official visit to Russia by berthing to St. Petersburg
On the yacht you can walk along the decks, study photos of the royal family, look into the admiral's cabin and into the kitchen, see the bedroom where Prince Charles spent his honeymoon with his wife Diana. Moving along the decks is constant descents and ascents. But on the yacht everything is so conveniently equipped that people with disabilities can also travel through it.
