- Summary
- MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Of Ships and the Sea. DESCRIPTION: Built at Dunston’s Yard near Hull, a new schooner called Sir Winston Churchill. The schooner is the first ship of its kind ever paid for by public subscription. She’s also the first three masted vessel ever built in this country for youth training. The Royal Navy’s Junior Shore Training Establishment, near Ipswich, celebrates its sixtieth anniversary. A highlight of the ceremonies was the Manning the Mast, watched by Admiral Sir Charles Madden, Commander-in-Chief Home Fleet. Alfred Burgess has spent over twenty years trying to overcome some of the basic drawbacks of the conventional ships’ hull. Pictures show a twenty foot model, which is the result of his research. Twin screws are mounted at the front between the three hulls, and they pull rather than push. Also there is no bow wave and no wake, and steering is achieved by the engines alone.
