A close view of the port side of the bow of the 3-masted topsail schooner Sir Winston Churchill (1966) in Southampton Docks during the unveiling of a new figurehead. A Camper & Nicholsons Ltd workboat containing guests is close to the stem. Captain Swindells is standing in the stern of the boat next to the lady sponsor who has pulled the line to reveal the figurehead of a Red Lion holding an S.T.A. Shield. The Sail Training Association flag which covered the figurehead is hanging down. The ship's crew of trainees is mustered on the quayside and they are standing in two ranks, most with arms folded but some are clapping. Negatives numbers P50356 to P50360 and transparencies P50579CT to P50581CT and PCT19268 to PCT19270 were taken on the same occasion.
