Boy trainees hauling on ropes on the port side of the foredeck by the foremast on board the 3-masted topsail schooner Malcolm Miller (1968) while under sail in Spithead. The main group of boys is pulling on a braided rope. The nearest boy, wearing the number 8 armband, is reaching up with his hands on a stranded rope and he has a stranded rope tied round his waist. The photographer is looking aft and to port from just ahead of the foremast.
