2 unusual facts about William Gordon Perrin


William Gordon Perrin

From 1922 until his death Perrin was honorary editor of the Mariner's Mirror and honorary secretary of both the Navy Records Society (since 1912 : it owes to him its revival after the War) and, by appointment of the Admiralty, to the Trustees of the National Maritime Museum and MacPherson Collection at Greenwich.

The completion of the Admiralty Arch over the Mall afforded accommodation, long desired, for the reorganisation of the Library, and for this arduous work Perrin was just the man.
