Description

The Mayor of Christchurch, Garry Moore, stands at the forefront of the cartoon explaining that giving the sailors of new ships the freedom of the city is a hallowed marine tradition. Behind him is the HMNZ Canterbury moored in the Avon River; a punter looks indignantly at his wrecked punt. All around Garry moore are scenes of wild gaiety which include a duck spitted on a sword and sailors' hats being tossed in the air along with beercans.

Sailors from the navy's newest ship will be given the freedom of the city during a rare charter parade through the streets of Christchurch later in the month. With swords drawn, bayonets fixed, drums beating, bands playing and colours flying, the ship's company of the navy's brand new multi-role ship, HMNZS Canterbury, will march through the streets before they are presented with the freedom of the city.
