On my count 20 on board, love the attire, even the odd blazer being worn.

At least 25 on board actually – 1 on the bow, 1 child in the forward hatch, 10 hatted ladies on the cabin top, plus 1 unhatted, 11 visible standing around the cockpit, and the helmsman not visible inside … But how many others are in the cabin? More children? Great Aunt Maude? Must have been over 30 all up!
