With a distinguished beard and a commanding presence, Commodore Warwick exudes authority and expertise as he takes charge of another vessel - not just any ship but the Woodchurch ferry boat. This snapshot captures him skillfully navigating through unknown waters with confidence and grace. Having dedicated his life to sailing, Captain Warwick's illustrious career spanned decades before retiring in 1972.
