Market Day at the Training Ship Mercury: A Scene of Youthful Excitement and Anticipation This evocative photograph captures the lively atmosphere of Market Day at the Training Ship Mercury, a historic institution located on the banks of the River Hamble near Southampton. Established to provide training in seamanship to boys aged 12-15, the Mercury played a vital role in preparing young recruits for a future in the naval services. In this image, we see a group of boys, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation, as they make their way through the ship's shop with their small weekly allowances. The popular items of the day, it seems, are the bags of sweets, which are piled high on the counter, ready for eager hands to scoop them up. The boys' bags are filled with their newfound treasures, their expressions reflecting the joy and satisfaction of a successful market day. Based on the River Hamble, the Mercury and its shore establishment were more than just a training ground for future sailors. They were a community, a place where boys could learn valuable skills, build friendships, and experience a sense of camaraderie that would stay with them throughout their lives. The memory of Market Day, with its bustling shop and the sweet rewards for a week's hard work, would no doubt be a cherished one for many of the boys who passed through the Mercury's doors.
