Royal Navy staff with a seal pup, South Haven, Skomer Island, 1954/5

Description

Staff from the Royal Navy Brawdy base with a grey seal pup (Halichoerus grypus), possibly in Driftwood Bay, South Haven.

Photographer Tony Howarth says: "I was a member of a party from RN Brawdy who was asked to make a beacon on the island for a lady who I believe was staying for the Summer months. The lady was from a university, doing some survey. This was the only way she would be able it contact the mainland in an emergency”
