Best Answer

The current figurehead was carved by Mr. Arthur Levison of Farnham Surrey when the vessel was renovated in 1952- 53. The timber was a laminated block of pine donated by Canada.

Mr. Levison was chosen for this project after it was established his father was one of the last figurehead carvers in Britain, based in Gloucester, and the young Arthur had first hand experience of helping his father as a boy and young man.

Arthur Levison was himself a master architectural carver in both wood and metal.
