Shipbuilding and Shipping Record, 23 April 1925

At a gathering in the Board Room of the Port of London Authority last week, Lord Ritchie of Dundee, Chairman of the Authority, on behalf of present and past members of the Authority, presented Viscount Devonport, who was Chairman of the Authority from its inception to March 31 last, with a piece of silver as a mark of their personal regard for him and of their recognition of the conspicuous services rendered by him to the Port of London during the sixteen years of his chairmanship. A portrait of Viscount Devonport by Mr. de Laszlo [4570] has been hung in the Board boom, and this was unveiled at the same time by Lord Ritchie.
