History

ROYAL NORE is a Motor Ship Twin Screw built by Tyler Boat Co Ltd, Tonbridge, Kent & fitted out by Tough Bros Ltd, Teddington, Middlesex. She was originally owned by the Port of London Authority as a Royal Barge on the Thames and was used by Queen Elizabeth II.

In July 2017, she transferred ownership to the Royal Yacht Britannia Trust (RYBT), who are looking at using her as a passenger carrying vessel and are currently going through the process of coding her.
