On February 26, 1983, Queen Elizabeth II landed on San Diego's shores aboard Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia. Among her local stops was a visit to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Just as in all the other spots she visited, a crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of the Queen of England and Prince Philip. The royal couple's interest in marine science drew them to Scripps and the queen specifically requested a stop at the aquarium where they observed a sea lion. Next up for the duo: Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park. [ Ссылка ]
