Parked up, berthed I suppose more correctly, permanently at the Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre, the Royal Yacht Britannia.

You can pay to go in and view it. Have lunch on it. Get drunk.

We didn’t bother.

A local man called Donald told us the best view of Britannia is from the cafe in Debenhams. He was right and the coffee was okay too.
