Queen's Jubilee Ships Salute planned for all vessels in UK Harbours.
Every vessel in every UK Harbour is being asked to sound the salute on Saturday lunchtime.
The UK Chamber of Shipping is inviting Ship Owners and recreational boaters to take part in the Ships Salute as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. A Ships Salute is where every vessel in every UK Harbour sounds a simultaneous long blast on their horn or whistle.
To celebrate the Queen’s service to the country and her particular affiliation with the maritime industry, the UK Chamber of Shipping would like to see as many vessels as possible – Cruise Liner, Tanker, Dry Bulk Carrier, Containership, Aircraft Carrier, Destroyer, Frigate, Tug, Offshore Supply Vessel, Motor cruiser, Yacht, Narrowboat and Ferry – make this salute. It is planned for 12pm on Saturday, June 4.
The Royal Family has a long history of seafaring. Over the centuries the Monarchy has sailed aboard 83 royal yachts, including the most recent, HMY Britannia, which often hosted the RYA Council meetings during Cowes Week.
Every Royal Navy, Merchant Navy and recreational vessel regardless of size, class and category is invited to join the Ships Salute. Pre-registration is not required, but an indication of intent to join the salute would be welcomed.
