EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Training Ship Cornwall moored at Purfleet, Essex, on the banks of the River Thames in the late Victorian era. Established in 1859 by the School Ship Society as a charitable institution, the Training Ship Cornwall served as a boys' reformatory, providing education and training in seamanship to young boys aged 13-15 who were often from poverty-stricken backgrounds and had previously resided in workhouses. The boys were taught all aspects of naval life, from navigation and ship handling to cooking and carpentry, with the ultimate goal of preparing them for a career at sea. The vessel, which replaced an earlier Training Ship Cornwall in 1868, remained at Purfleet until its move to Denton, near Gravesend, Kent, in 1928. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, with the boys in their uniforms working on the deck, while others look on from the railing. The Training Ship Cornwall represented a beacon of hope and opportunity for many young boys, providing them with valuable skills and a chance to break the cycle of poverty. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich maritime history of the Thames, which has long been a vital transport route and a source of livelihood for many. The Training Ship Cornwall, with its proud naval tradition, played a significant role in shaping the lives of countless boys and contributing to the naval and merchant marine industries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
