EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in British history as King George VI, accompanied by Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother, Queen Mary, travel down the River Thames aboard the Royal Motor Barge on May 1, 1937. The royal party was en route to Greenwich to open the National Maritime Museum. The motor barge, a symbol of British maritime power and royal tradition, leads four Motor Torpedo Boats (MTBs) through the calm waters of the Thames near Blackfriars, London.

In the background, the Training Ship President is moored off the embankment, adding to the bustling scene of maritime activity. The photograph provides a unique glimpse into the past, offering a visual record of the royal journey and the impressive fleet that accompanied it.
