Description:

In May 1979, Queen Elizabeth II visited Aarhus with her yacht HMRY Britannia. The flag on the picture is from the aft of HMRY BRITANNIA.

Follow Ships for HMRY Britannia through Danish waters was HMS SHEFFIELD D80, sunk by an Exocet air-launched anti-ship missile from a Super Etendard aircraft belonging to the Argentine Navy on 4 May 1982 during the Falklands War and HDMS PEDER SKRAM F352, now docked at Holmen in Copenhagen where it serves as a museum ship, part of the Royal Danish Naval Museum.

On the picture you can also see the old tug JAKOB during his service as an active tug in the port of Aarhus

This photo should be judged on historical background and not just the obvious poor photo quality!
