EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a poignant moment on the Training Ship Exmouth in the early 1900s. The image showcases the strict divisions at meals, with young boys seated in rows as they partake in their daily sustenance. The atmosphere is solemn yet orderly, reflecting the disciplined nature of life aboard this training vessel.
The Training Ship Exmouth was a key institution for educating and preparing young boys for life at sea during the Edwardian era. Situated on the River Thames near Grays, it served as a home and school for disadvantaged children from metropolitan asylums and workhouses. These boys were given a chance to learn valuable skills and discipline that would serve them well in their future careers.
The scene depicted in this photograph is a reminder of the challenges faced by these children, many of whom came from difficult backgrounds. Despite their circumstances, they are shown here carrying out their duties with determination and resilience.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported back to a time when institutions like the Training Ship Exmouth played a crucial role in shaping young lives. It serves as a testament to the dedication and hard work of both staff and students alike, highlighting the importance of education and opportunity for all individuals, regardless of their beginnings.
