NOTES: The 'sun' in the sky shown here is a photographer's trick, whereby a coin is printed with the negative to create a sun or moon. See RIBA93514 for a version without the 'sun'.

NOTES: Horse Guards was built in 1750-1759 by John Vardy and William Robinson to designs by William Kent.

NOTES: The Victory was designed by Sir Thomas Slade, the Senior Surveyor of the Navy. She was the flagship of the Second Sea Lord and is best known for her role in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 under the command of Admiral Nelson. She was moved from moorings in Portsmouth Harbour to Number 2 dry dock at Portsmouth Royal Naval Dockyard in 1922 when work began restoring her to her 'fighting' condition of 1805.
