Stoker in engine room one, HMAS Kanimbla
Description
Figure of a man in the engine room. Peter Churcher recalled, "I was amazed at the extraordinary environment of the engine room. It was absolutely crammed full of equipment. It was a very complex packed environment. I was quite awed by it. 'Stoker' is an old term for someone who used to stoke the boiler. The stoker today maintains the machinery of the engine room."
