Description	Advertisement for 'Britannia Souvenirs' . This advertisement shows an artist's impression of the Naval training vessel 'Britannia'. The advertisement is headed '"Britannia" Souvenirs', and the caption above the picture explains 'H.M.S. "Britannia", for 36 years the Training Ship for Britain's Naval Cadets. Now being dismantled to make Munitions of War, Souvenirs, War Shrines and Memorials.' The souvenirs were available either by mail order or at the London showrooms of Hughes, Bolckow & Co. Ltd. Britannia is a traditional name for ships in Great Britain. There was a Royal Navy ship named 'Britannia' as far back as the eighteenth century, and another ship of the same name was part of Admiral Lord Nelson's victorious fleet at Trafalgar in 1812. More recently, 'Britannia' was famous as the name of Queen Elizabeth II's Royal Yacht, which was decommissioned in 1997.
