The Royal Yacht Britannia. Visit of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Villefranche 1955
The Royal Yacht Britannia anchors in the calm waters of Villefranche during a 1955 visit by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. This low-angle view emphasizes the vessel's imposing dark hull and tiered white superstructure. The British White Ensign and French Tricolore fly from its masts against a background of the steep, villa-dotted hillside of the French Riviera. A gangway is lowered from the port side, nearly touching the water's surface.
