Summary: Home movie shot during the Royal Review at Spithead 20 May 1937 showing many of the vessels present.
Description: A number of long shots, some colour and some black and white, of vessels: British submarines H33, C5, H49, an aircraft carrier (probably HMS Courageous), destroyers H39 and D35, the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, merchant vessel Strathmore, US cruisers, biplane fly-past, night shots of ships illuminated and fireworks. Much of the hand-held camerawork is very shaky and many of the shots are very short.
