"Her Majesty's Intercom"

 

On our recent trip to the UK, we visited Edinburgh. One of the highlights of the beautiful city was a tour of the Britannia, Queen Elizabeth's yacht. What an amazing vessel it was. When it was retired about 10 years ago, a non-profit was formed and their bid to obtain the ship won. So now it's harbored in Edinburgh. This is one of the little details of the ship I found so fascinating. I took a boatload of pix, so look for more paintings to come!
