Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label, verso BC: (Gordonstoun) 2/62 4) PORTRAIT OF GRANDFATHER, King George V, hangs \ unpretentiously in the "Navigation Room," where Prince \ Charles will sometimes study. The British seafaring \ tradition is strong at Gordonstoun, and the boys have \ manned a watchtower on the coast ever since the school \ was founded in 1934, watching for ships in distress. So \ far none has been spotted. \ Credit: Rene Burri © 1962 MAGNUM Photos
