After Britannia had been stripped of her spars and fittings, her hull was towed out to St Catherines Deep near the Isle of Wight, and she was sunk by HMS Winchester. This marked the end of big yacht racing in Europe) This print captures a significant moment in maritime history - the demise of HMY Britannia. Once a majestic sailing yacht that graced European waters with its presence, this image showcases the vessel's final moments before it met its watery grave. Stripped bare of its grandeur and elegance, HMY Britannia's hull is seen floating peacefully on calm waters near the Isle of Wight. The absence of spars and fittings symbolizes an end to an era - big yacht racing in Europe would never be the same again. The craftsmanship behind this masterpiece is attributed to Kirk & Sons of Cowes, renowned for their expertise in boat building. Their attention to detail is evident as every line and curve on HMY Britannia's gaff rig cutter has been meticulously captured. As we reflect upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of a magnificent vessel lost but also pay homage to those who sailed aboard her - including notable figures such as King George V himself. Let us cherish this snapshot frozen in time; a poignant reminder that even great icons
