Nauticalia

This fascinating book gives a detailed insight to Britannia's history, from the moment she was ordered, for King George VI (who tragically died a day later), through her numerous visits overseas, to her final official duties at the handover of Hong Kong. During her 44 years on duty, she steamed over a million miles, and barely missed a beat - a credit to her designers, builders and crew. Detailed photography (mostly in colour) and plans throughout. Softback, 70 pages.
