Description

Royal barge 'Gloriana' at St Katharine Docks

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee barge 'Gloriana' is the first Royal barge to have been built in over 100 years and cost £1,000,000. The project to build 'Gloriana' was initiated by Lord Sterling who stated he got the idea for a waterborne tribute to the Queen for her Diamond Jubilee from Charles, Prince of Wales. Lord Sterling financed the estimated £500,000 construction cost of the project. Additional backers included Sir Donald Gosling and Canadian billionaire Galen Weston. After leading the Jubilee parade 'Gloriana' was presented to the Queen as a gift. The materials used includes wood from sweet chestnut trees from Prince Charles's estate.
