Scope and Contents

This is a photograph taken by George Oliver of an aircraft carrier sculpture in the backgound [entitled albion] and another of an aircraft carrier sculpture fountain in the foreground [entitled Karl Doorman] in Finlay's garden at Stonypath. The number of copies of this photograph are unknown but probably only a handful. Wikipedia: Karel Willem Frederik Marie Doorman (April 23, 1889 "“ February 28, 1942) was a Dutch Rear Admiral who commanded ABDACOM Naval forces, a hastily-organized multinational naval force formed to defend the East Indies against an overwhelming Imperial Japanese attack. Doorman was killed and the main body of ABDACOM Naval forces destroyed during the Battle of the Java Sea. Between 1946 and 2006 the Royal Dutch Navy named three vessels after Karel Doorman, including a former British Colossus class aircraft carrier, the largest ship the Navy ever commissioned. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
