Hampshire Telegraph: Friday 12th August 1938

200,090 Visited Navy Week Here: Another Increase: Critics Confounded by Public: The faces of Paymaster Captain H. C. Pinsent, the General Secretary of Navy Week, and of his committee, care-worn and anxious throughout the week with hard work and worry, wore expansive and beaming smiles on Saturday night as they congratulated each other and celebrated another increase in Navy Week figures. They could afford to smile, for the improvement in attendance was an answer to their many critics, who, when there was a definite drop last year said: “Navy Week is dying; it cannot last much longer.” Justifying the efforts of the Committee and the hopes of the Comdr.-in- Chief as expressed at the opening ceremony, the attendance at Portsmouth exceeded, for the second time in history, the 200,000 mark, and although the figure did not reach a record, three separate day records were broken, and a new high total recorded for any day in any Navy Week. The grand total for Portsmouth was 200,090, which was an Increase of 9,220 on last year, and only 6,669 short of the 1936 record figures.
