Britannia at Lyttelton 1977


LARGE IMAGE OPENS IN A NEW WINDOW

Mid-afternoon, Friday, 4th of March, 1977.

An elevated southerly view of HMY Britannia at Lyttelton's No. 6 Wharf. To the Left is the Leander Frigate HMNZS Waikato (1966-2002). Across the end of the wharf can be seen the Fisheries Protection and Survey vessel HMNZS Kuparu (1943-1989).

The Royal Yacht sailed in the late evening for a secluded Banks Peninsula bay, where the Queen and Prince Phillip enjoyed a quiet weekend.
