Updated 24-Aug-2006

These photos were kindly donated to the site by Chris Johnson of Tawa, New Zealand. Incredibly, they had been found in a rubbish dump and were only narrowly saved! They show Hood during her May 1924 visit to New Zealand during the Cruise of the Special Service Squadron (Empire Cruise).

These photos are copyrighted 2001 by Chris Johnson and may not be downloaded and/or used elsewhere without his express permission.
