Location of photo

[edit]

The caption on the photo seems long -- maybe too long? The photo's location could be explained in the context of mentioning the formal ceremonies which attend election to the Royal Academy; however, if someone believes that the photo's location should be incorporated into an edited caption, I suppose that could be considered an improvement. The relevant information follows:

In 2002, Narita's contributions to naval architecture -- particularly the SWATH configuration and the MIDP assembly -- were recognized by his election to Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Engineering, joining an elite group of only 86 other Foreign Members in the Royal Academy.[1] The Royal Academy of Engineering's 2002 "New Fellows' Dinner" took place at the Drapers' Hall, Throgmorton Street in London;[2] and pre-dinner photos commemorating this gala event were organized in the Drapers' formal Drawing Room.[3]
