Britannia to Open St Lawrence Seaway with Royal Visit
The Britannia will sail from Quebec to the Great Lakes for the St. Lawrence Seaway opening with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip aboard. The voyage includes a Chicago stop, six weeks inland, and a ceremonial luncheon in Montreal. The vessel represents a multi‑million investment and can be converted to a hospital ship if needed.
