The Atlantic fleet majestically anchors at Torquay, 1936. This print captures a historic moment in British naval history as the mighty Atlantic fleet finds respite in the picturesque harbor of Torquay. The second series of 48 cigarette cards, issued with Senior Service, Junior Member, and Illingworth cigarettes, immortalizes this scene for generations to come. Taken from an elevated viewpoint, the image showcases the vastness of the ocean and the impressive scale of these naval vessels against a backdrop of cloudy and overcast weather.

The print offers viewers a glimpse into a bygone era when fleets ruled the seas and symbolized national power. It evokes feelings of awe and admiration for those who served on these ships during tumultuous times.
