The Duke of Edinburgh opening the Seamens Orphanage in Live
Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, opening the Seamens Orphanage, Liverpool in 1870. The Liverpool Seamens Orphan Institution was established in order to provide care and education for the many Liverpool children who lost families at sea. A group of Liverpool merchants and shipowners funded the establishment of the orphanage in 1869, in a temporary rented building on Duke Street. In 1870 Liverpool City Council donated land next to Newsham Park and a large building was erected to house and educate the orphans. The building had separate wings for boys and girls but shared dining facilities, hospital and classrooms. All orphans were taught reading and writing. In addition girls learnt knitting and needlework and boys were instructed in carpentry. The Institution also made an agreement with the Indefatigable training ship, to train boys after leaving the orphanage

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in Liverpool's maritime and social history: The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Alfred, opening the Seamens Orphanage on October 10, 1870. Established in 1869, the Liverpool Seamens Orphan Institution was a response to the many children in Liverpool who had lost their families at sea. A group of Liverpool merchants and shipowners funded the initial establishment in a temporary rented building on Duke Street. In 1870, Liverpool City Council donated land next to Newsham Park, and a large, permanent building was erected to house and educate the orphans. The building featured separate wings for boys and girls, but shared dining facilities, hospital, and classrooms. All orphans were taught reading and writing. In addition, girls were instructed in knitting and needlework, while boys were taught carpentry. The Institution also made an agreement with the Indefatigable training ship to train boys after leaving the orphanage. The Seamens Orphanage provided crucial care and education for over 200 children who had been affected by the perils of the sea. This photograph, taken on December 10, 1874, captures a proud moment in the Institution's history, as the Duke of Edinburgh officially opened the new building, signifying the ongoing commitment of the city to support the children who had been left behind.
