EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Training Ship Exmouth, a vital institution on the River Thames off Grays, Essex, during the early 1900s. Operated by the Metropolitan Asylums Board since 1876, the Exmouth provided essential training to boys aged 12-15, many of whom had been displaced by poverty and housed in London workhouses. The ship offered these young boys an opportunity to learn valuable seamanship skills, which would often lead them to join the naval services. The original Training Ship Exmouth, made of wood, had become unsafe by 1903, necessitating the replacement with an identical vessel made of iron and steel. This new ship, which can be seen in the photograph, was a testament to the commitment of the Metropolitan Asylums Board to continue providing a safe and effective training environment for the boys. The 1870s and 1880s were a period of significant social change in England, with poverty and substandard housing being pervasive issues. The Training Ship Exmouth served as a beacon of hope for many young boys, offering them a chance to learn a valuable skill and potentially alter the course of their lives. The boys' education on the Exmouth not only prepared them for a future in the navy but also provided them with essential transport and water skills that would serve them well in their daily lives. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, one where institutions like the Training Ship Exmouth played a crucial role in shaping the lives of disadvantaged young boys. The iron and steel vessel in the photograph stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of this important institution.
