Summary[edit]

Description
English: Sign for the Albion Albion is a poetic name for Britain, which is probably based on the Latin 'albus' meaning white, which is a reference to the whiteness of the chalk cliffs of the southern coastal cliffs. There are also many ships called the Albion. The ship depicted is the First World War-aera HMS Albion; she was a Canopus-class pre-dreadnought battleship launched in 1898 and sold in 1919.
