The Royal Yacht Britannia. Visit of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Villefranche 1955
Pictured from a low angle, the Royal Yacht Britannia cuts an imposing figure in the bay of Villefranche during a 1955 visit by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The sharp bow of the dark-hulled vessel, bearing a royal crest, sits in the calm water. Above, striped flags fly from a tall mast, while in the background, the densely populated town rises up the steep, green hillside.
