The 'Little Navy' Of The City Of London -- Spring comes to the Thames, and the 'little Navy' of the City of London presents a picture of tranquility to the work-weary traveller. Against a background of St. Paul's Cathedral (left) are four ships which are now regarded as 'permanent fixtures' in this the greatest port in the World. From front to rear are the exploration ship "Discovery", now head-quarters of the Sea Seouts, the-converted sloop "Wellington", the headquarters of the Honourable Company of Master-Mariners, the "Chrysanthemum" and the "President" - both headquarters of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (R.N.V.R.). April 01, 1951. (Photo by Planet News)
