Admiral Sir Ernest Frederick Augustus Gaunt, distinguished Royal Naval officer, is seen among the onlookers, intently watching the match unfold. The image portrays the unique blend of military discipline and leisurely pastime that defined the daily life of sailors at sea. The audience, composed of officers and sailors alike, is focused on the ring, where two determined boxers engage in a fierce contest. The wooden deck of the ship serves as their makeshift ring, while the surrounding crowd provides a lively atmosphere, punctuated by cheers and encouragement. Admiral Gaunt's presence adds an air of authority and prestige to the scene. Born in 1865, he had already enjoyed a successful naval career, having served in the Royal Navy for over 40 years.
