Dredging for Royalty
Victoria Harbour in western Canada will be dredged at a cost of $34,500 so that the Royal Yacht Britannia can sail in for a 12-hour visit by the Queen in March, officials say. The Queen and Prince Philip, on the final leg of a cruise that will also take them to Mexico and the United States, will spend four days in the province of British Columbia. A Public Works Department spokesman in Victoria said that the harbour would probably have required dredging within five years even without the arrival of the Royal Yacht. — Victoria.
