Ok...if we are insisting on absolute accuracy......

1. HRH sailed ON (or IN) Britannia....as a passenger... not conning her out of harbour which is implied by "sailed"

2. No such thing as HMS Britannia... she was HMY Britannia.

3. It should have been written "sailed HMY Britannia.."

"The Her Majestys Yacht? No.....

OK.......Am I the most pedantic person on the thread?
