Bomb Raids Fail

George VI will review the British fleet at Spithead on May 20, once almost toppled over and to this day sailors talk about her "unseaworthiness.”

The vessel, moored in Portsmouth harbour, has carried more crowned heads and royal personages than any other craft in the world. She was built in 1897 for Queen Victoria.

Recently the "V and A," as she is known to naval men, was refitted in Portsmouth drydock for her new duties. Sleeping accommodations were rearranged, provision being made for the King and Queen, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke and Duchess of Kent. Otherwise little has been changed

since the days of Victoria.

Her keel was laid on December 15, 1897, and she was launched on May D, 1809. Eight months later, as the ship was being taken out of drydock

on January 3, 1900, she heeled over,

the list reaching 24 degrees.

There is no doubt she would have turned bottom up, except for docking guys which successfully withstood the strain.

Three hundred tons of ballost, water and pigiron, were hastily put

on board and she was floated on the next tide.

STORY SPREAD

The damage was not serious; she sailed a fortnight later and behaved beautifully, but the story, of the accident
