BRITANNIA

Britannia's fittings; rails, seats, wheel, telegraph, tables, chairs and cleats were all subsequently used in the restoration of the Wroxham Belle. Henry George (Harry) Hastings (Jnr) and family were bombed out of their house twice during WWII, and rumour has it they had to live on Britannia for a few weeks.
