EDITORS COMMENTS
The Exmouth training ship, River Thames, London, 1937. This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - a parade of Navy cadets in their sharp uniforms on the deck of the iconic Exmouth training ship. The image beautifully captures the essence of discipline and camaraderie among these young boys who were preparing themselves for future naval warfare. The backdrop showcases the serene beauty of the River Thames with its calm waters reflecting the distant bank. It serves as a reminder that even amidst military drills and inspections, nature's tranquility remains ever-present. This photograph is an invaluable piece from London's past, providing insight into both geographical features and historical events. Preserved by Guildhall Library Art Gallery and part of London County Council Photograph Library collection, it stands as a testament to Greater London Council's commitment to preserving our heritage. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but wonder about each individual depicted - their hopes, dreams, and aspirations within those uniforms. Their dedication to serving their country shines through every detail captured by an unknown photographer. Let this remarkable image transport you back to an era where sailing ships ruled the riverways and brave sailors like these cadets trained tirelessly for war on board vessels like The Exmouth. A powerful reminder of our rich maritime history.
