List Of Royal Yachts Of The United Kingdom
There have been 83 royal yachts of the monarchy of the United Kingdom since the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. Charles II had 25 royal yachts, while five were simultaneously in service in 1831. Merchantmen or warships have occasionally been chartered or assigned for special duty as a temporary royal yacht, for example the steamship ''Ophir'' in 1901 and the battleship HMS ''Vanguard'' in 1947. Since 1998, following a successful national tender process, ''Britannia'' has been berthed permanently at the Port of Leith in Edinburgh. There are currently no British royal yachts, although MV ''Hebridean Princess'' and MY ''Leander G'' have both been used by the royal family.

Monarchy Of The United Kingdom
The monarchy of the United Kingdom, commonly referred to as the British monarchy, is the constitutional form of government by which a hereditary sovereign reigns as the head of state of the United Kingdom, the Crown Dependencies (the Bailiwick of Guernsey, the Bailiwick of Jersey and the Isle of Man) and the British Overseas Territories. The current monarch is King Charles III, who ascended the throne on 8 September 2022, upon the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. The monarch and their immediate family undertake various official, ceremonial, diplomatic and representational duties. As the monarchy is constitutional, the monarch is limited to functions such as bestowing honours and appointing the prime minister, which are performed in a non-partisan manner. The sovereign is also able to comment on draft laws which directly affect the monarchy. The monarch is also Head of the British Armed Forces. Though the ultimate executive authority over the government is still fo ...

Pett Dynasty
The so-called Pett Dynasty was a family of shipwrights who prospered in England between the 15th and 17th centuries. It was once said of the family that they were "so knit together that the Devil himself could not discover them". This saying refers to the era during which Samuel Pepys was much involved in getting royal aid for Ann Pett, widow of Christopher Pett. The Petts Wood district of south-east London is named for the family. The Pett Family Tree The four Peter Petts Peter Pett, Master Shipwright of Deptford, was granted a Coat of Arms in 1563. His son, Joseph Pett of Limehouse, succeeded his father as Master Shipwright before Peter's death in 1605. Joseph surveyed the timber for the construction of a ship named ''Sovereign of the Seas,'' and married Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Hoborn, another shipwright and churchwarden at Chatham. Joseph died in 1652, aged about 60. Joseph's son, the second Peter Pett, carried on the private family business of shipbuildin ...

The vessel was more than doubled in tonnage to 188 tons when rebuilt in 1674, becoming a sixth-rate of 16 guns. This "rebuild" may in fact denote the transfer of the name to a completely different vessel: "This vessel is supposed to have been commissioned as a substitute for a yacht, and specially destined to the queen's use. The idea appears in some measure confirmed, by a note relative to captain Jennifer's appointment, in which it is said to have been made by the queen herself." Captain John Jennifer was appointed to command ''Saudadoes'' in December 1674. He later commanded at the Bat ...
