Meet Josephine Howard, affectionately known as Jo Howard or Jo Wood, a sixteen-year-old girl from Essex who became an iconic pin-up for apprentice engineers from HMS Caledonia. Captured at Rosyth in Fife Scotland in April 1971, the image showcases Josephine's undeniable allure as she confidently poses alongside these young sailors on the ship's deck.
