This magnificent ship has played host to some of the most famous people in the world. But, above all, she was home to Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Family. Now in Edinburgh you are welcome on board to discover the heart and soul of this most special of royal residences.

The Royal Yacht Britannia is one of the world's most famous ships. Launched at John Brown's Shipyard in Clydebank in 1953, the Royal Yacht proudly served Queen and country for 44 years. During that time Britannia carried The Queen and the Royal Family on 968 official voyages, from the remotest regions of the South Seas to the deepest divides of Antarctica.

Britannia is now permanently moored in Edinburgh's historic port of Leith and visitors can discover what life was like on board the ship for the Royal Family and crew.

On 11 December 1997 Britannia was decommissioned and became a 5-star visitor attraction in Edinburgh after the city bid to become her new home and one of the UK's most prestigious hospitality venues.

Complètement à gauche, côtoyant un YMCA, la vitrine d'un Dominion Stores.
L'aspect commerciale de ce secteur de l'avenue du Mont Royal se révèle ici dans un décor d'une agréable homogénéité: façades de commerces, corniches ornementées. Le tout environné d'un parc à la verdure invitante et généreuse.

Habitations typique d'un quartier ouvrier: Griffintown.
En fait la façade que l'on voit ici, donnait sur une intersection de la rue Barré. Grande commodité à cette époque où les rues n'étaient qu'en terre battue; les trottoirs en planches de bois.
Dans l'environnement immédiat de ce secteur "résidentiel", une imposante centrale électrique alimentée au charbon; la Montreal Street Railway fournissant le pouvoir électrique pour le service de tramway www.flickr.com/photos/urbexplo/4360787653
Ironiquement, ces maisons n'étaient pourvues ni d'électricité encore moins d'eau courante.

Faubourg à m'lasse / Snack-bar Grondin & Fils.
Un jeune homme se promène à vélo, un livreur d'Orange Crush se pointe au snack-bar chez Grondin. Deux inconnus parcourent les rues, suivant un trajet qu'eux seuls connaissent. L'un prend des photos, l'autre numérote. Clichés après clichés, ils figent la vie sur pellicule.

Mais que viennent-ils faire? Que signifie ce numéro qui apparaît sur chacune de leurs photos? Sans le savoir, ces hommes amorcent un processus qui viendra bouleverser ce tableau. Un choix a été fait: ce quartier doit disparaître. À l'insu des habitants, ce lieu de vie se transforme en objet d'étude, ses bâtiments deviennent des numéros et ses résidants, les figurants d'un quotidien dont le temps est maintenant compté. À chaque cliché, les deux fonctionnaires accélèrent le compte à rebours.
Quartiers disparus.
