{"product_id":"never-to-sail-in-her","title":"Never to Sail in Her","description":"\u003cp\u003eAsk anyone the name of our last Royal Yacht and the majority will tell you Britannia, many of them with a recollection of the Yacht herself, so much was she a part of British life. Ask those same folk the name of Britannia’s predecessor and you will, more likely than not, be met with a puzzled glance, such is the obscurity of H.M.Y. Victoria \u0026amp; Albert III.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat obscurity is now addressed. The career of Queen Victoria’s last Royal Yacht is chronicled in great detail, from conception in the late 1890s through nearly half a century of service to her final demolition. Published primarily as a matter of record, just three hundred numbered copies have been produced to meet the needs of museums and archives, organisations, enthusiasts and individuals by means of a beautifully produced volume, which is sure to become a rare and precious heirloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQueen Victoria and her family, her Government Ministers and her Admirals all had their opinions about a new Royal Yacht. The visits of Kings and Queens and Heads of State as either hosts or guests on board during the Yacht’s lifetime, from the ill-fated Tsar Nicholas II of Russia to our present Queen Elizabeth II when a child, are all recorded here in this engrossing account.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHIS IS A NEW COPY OF THE BOOK.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mainline \u0026 Maritime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44149259370676,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1610\/7359\/files\/NEVERTOSAILINHER.jpg?v=1771358094","url":"https:\/\/mainline-maritime.myshopify.com\/products\/never-to-sail-in-her","provider":"Mainline \u0026 Maritime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
