‘Ordinary Seaman Longsplice’ – a home-made dummy for ‘Man overboard’ exercises.

Work involving all hands. Numerous members of the ship’s company are seen engaged in running out lines either at the beginning or end of a manoeuvre – probably a towing exercise with another vessel. The off-duty watches would be called out by whistle for manoeuvres and exercises of this kind.

Two photographs showing the Smadding (‘Smarting’) with his men clearing the anchor. Usually a time-served Warrant Officer, he was the Number One Boatswain to be found on every ship and boat supervising activities such as this.
