Boat Folk Britannia © Australian Wooden Boat Festival
Introducing our latest film from our Wooden Boat Folk series; Britannia, the 38ft gaff cutter built in 1898, has been owned by the same family for over 110 years now.
In this film we hear from Anne, 4th generation Davis, on how she fell for Britannia and how she became proud owner.
Britannia's 5th generation Davis owner, Bella Laughton-Clark, happens to be our Marketing Manager and Program Coordinator at the AWBF, so some might say we are a bit biased, but we think this story is worth hearing.
Happy viewing!
