| I recently received several photographs concerning the activities of the Mediterranean Fleet and related activities int he early 1930's from Alexander Shand, whose father, Archie Shand, served in the Royal Navy during this period. I have posted one of these photos on my main Royal Navy page and two others on my Mediterranean Fleet page,but I wanted to make the rest of the photographs avalaiable here as a way of showing my appreciation for being allowed to use them. All pictures on this page are used Courtesy of Alex Shand in memory of Archie Shand. |

| This is a view of the French submarine Nautilus which, as the caption indicates, was later lost with all hands. |
| Another view of the doomed French submarine Nautilus this time "At Larnaca". |
| The water polo team from HMS Vampire from the 1929-1933 period. |
| Christmas being celebrated aboard HMS Vampire in 1929. |
| This is a shooting team from HMS Royal Sovereign in the early 1930's. Archie Shand is the sailor in the middle row, second from right. |
| Not really sure exactly who these sailors are, or when the photo was taken, but it may be Ediburgh, Scotland and the rifles may be Winchesters, which might imply US sailors on a port visit of some kind. Any information would be greatly appreciated. [email protected] |
