Trainees working on the foresail ropes on board the 3-masted topsail schooner Sir Winston Churchill (1966) when under sail in Southampton Water. They are all in wet weather gear and are pulling on ropes at the base of the foremast. They are on the starboard side of the foredeck abreast the accommodation skylight and are being supervised by three of the ship's crew, one of whom has a camera. The photographer is looking aft from just ahead of the foremast on the starboard side.
