EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Day Out on the Thames: Cockney Visitors and a Royal Navy Gunboat, 1890s" 2.. In this intriguing photograph from the 1890s, two Cockney men, Arry and Jack, are seen approaching the deck of a Royal Navy Gunboat. The men, dressed in typical East End attire, hail from London's working-class community, known as Cockneys. With a sense of humour and determination, they inquire about the Captain's whereabouts. 3. Arry, the taller of the two men, asks, "Is the Captain in?" Jack, who seems to be acting as their spokesperson, replies, "Yes, he's aboard. What do you want him for?" Arry responds, "Oh never you mind; just tell him as one of the 'Owners' wants to see him." 4. The term "Owners" refers to the local tradesmen and Londoners who felt a sense of ownership and pride in their community and its naval forces. This visit could be an opportunity for the Cockneys to express their support, ask for favours, or even voice their concerns. 5. The photo captures the unique dynamic between the Cockney visitors and the Royal Navy sailors. It highlights the connection between the local community and the naval forces, showcasing the humour and camaraderie that existed between them. 6. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of London's East End and its relationship with the Royal Navy. It also showcases the sense of pride and ownership that the local community felt towards their naval forces, which was an essential part of their identity. 7. The image is a testament to the rich history and humour of London's East End during the late 1800s. It provides a fascinating insight into the lives of the Cockneys and their interactions with the Royal Navy, offering a unique perspective on London's past.
