A boy trainee at the helm with Captain Reginald Willoughby near him on board the 3-masted topsail schooner Sir Winston Churchill (1966) while under sail in choppy conditions. The boy is wearing wet weather gear and is concentrating on the compass heading. Captain Reginald Willoughby is leaning against the port side of the helmsman's position looking forward with another officer in front of him. Two further officers are on the upper deck with other trainees standing by, waiting for instructions. The photographer is looking aft from the deckhouse top and the ship is on the port tack. The trainees are all wearing wet weather gear.
