A boy trainee at the wheel on board the 3-masted topsail schooner Sir Winston Churchill (1966) when under sail in The Solent.
A boy trainee at the wheel on board the 3-masted topsail schooner Sir Winston Churchill (1966) when under sail in The Solent. He is looking down at the compass and giving the impression that he has fallen asleep. An officer in civilian clothes on the right is looking rather concerned. The helmsman's position has got a canvas cover lashed to the steel frame. The mizzen is set and the ship is on the starboard tack, heeling slightly to port. The photographer is looking aft from the centreline on the deckhouse top. Negatives numbers P50389 to P50391 were taken on the same occasion.
