DescriptionAmerica and West Indies Station 1st Division (HMS Dragon, HMS Danae and HMS Dispatch) off Admiralty House Bermuda in 1931.jpg |
English: The 1st Division of the America and West Indies Station (HMS Dragon, HMS Danae and HMS Despatch) proceeding to the open water outside of the barrier reef of the Imperial fortress colony of Bermuda, the home base of the warships of the America and West Indies Station. The three light cruisers are seen moving north-eastward from the Grassy Bay anchorage at the mouth of the Great Sound, across the enclosed northern lagoon, towards the main shipping channel through the reef at Bermuda's East End, as they pass the boat dock at Clarence Cove, within the grounds of "Clarence Hill" (originally named "St. John's Hill" 'til renamed in 1822 in honour of Admiral of the Fleet Prince William, the Duke of Clarence, who was later King William IV), Admiralty House, Bermuda, in 1931. The figurehead on the dock was that of HMS Irresistible, which was flown by a Fleet Air Arm Wessex HU.5 helicopter from RFA Resource from Admiralty House to the Keepyard at the Royal Naval Dockyard on 28 March, 1974, for display at the new Bermuda Maritime Museum. It was subsequently moved to England with its place in the keepyard taken by a limestone replica.[1] |
