This collection includes the Coronation Fleet Review at Spithead in 1953, Her Majesty the Queen’s visit in June 1977, the sight of thirty-five submarines tied up at Fort Blockhouse, Gosport, for the fleet review of 1908 and a rather rare image of the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert at the start of the Jubilee Fleet Review at Spithead in July 1935.
A fleet review is a gathering of ships observed by the reigning monarch at the time, and dates back to the 15th century.
