Britannia (smack)

She was built in King's Lynn in 1914 and launched in 1915, and is currently (2021) undergoing restoration in Devon, and due to be relaunched in 2022.

[2] Britannia was built as the result of consultations between her owner Alfred Rake and the builders the Worfolk Brothers of King's Lynn.

[11] From 1974 to 1997 [12] she operated as a charter yacht on the west coast of Scotland, after which she was taken to the Hamble, where she continued to offer sailing holidays.

She was acquired by the Trinity Sailing Trust of Brixham in 2007, refitted in 2008, and in 2011 laid up due to the scarcity of charter work, during which time she was allowed to fall into substantial disrepair.

[17] When restoration is complete she is to be based in Cornwall, offering sailing experiences to the disadvantaged and campaigning for cleaner seas.
