	Spithead - LoveToKnow 1911
		SPITHEAD, a strait of the English Channel, between the mainland (the coast of Hampshire, England) and the northeastern coast of the Isle of Wight, forming the eastern entrance to Southampton Water, the Solent being the western.
		Spithead, which as an anchorage is exposed only to the south-east, shares in the fortifications of Portsmouth Harbour, the principal station of the British navy.
		In this connexion the strait has been the scene of many splendid naval pageants, such as those attendant upon the jubilee in 18 9 7, and the funeral in 1901 of Queen Victoria, and that which celebrated the coronation of King Edward VII.
