The painting commemorates the arrival of the fleet at Spithead to celebrate the Coronation of King George V in 1911. It shows the fleet drawn up in parallel lines for the King and Queen to sail past in the 'Victoria and Albert III'. In the centre the 'Neptune', flagship of Sir Francis Bridgeman, Commander-in-Chief Home Fleet, makes to signal. On the left are two foreign ships, the Russian 'Rossiya' and the German 'Von der Tann'. The artist was particularly interested in portraying ships of the Royal Navy during the first quarter of the twentieth century. The painting has been signed and dated 1912.
