The Royal Barge in motion, with two sailors and two naval officers outside of the cabin. What appears to be Queen Elizabeth II can be seen inside the cabin, along with at least two other guests. In the background, a smaller boat can be seen. The photo was taken during Arthur Wait's naval service aboard HMS Lion, when Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip had visited.
