Sea Adventure: The boy captain (colour litho)
8668763 Sea Adventure: The boy captain (colour litho) by English School, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: The boy captain. The manhood that the old sail training system produced in lads still in their teens was shown by Apprentice William Shotton of the Trafalgar in 1893. The captain died of Java fever and was buried in the East Indies, but the infection was on board and when the Trafalgar sailed it broke out, until both officers and half the crew were dying or helplessly ill. Shotton, himself stricken, was senior apprentice at the age of 18; with a handful of men wearied to mutiny he sailed her all the way to Melbourne, to the admiration of the whole world.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph titled "Sea Adventure: The boy captain" by English School from the 20th century tells a remarkable story of courage and resilience. The image depicts young Apprentice William Shotton, who at just 18 years old, found himself in the position of captain after a devastating outbreak of Java fever on board the Trafalgar. Despite being stricken with illness himself, Shotton led a small group of men through treacherous waters all the way to Melbourne, showcasing incredible determination and leadership.
The illustration is part of a set of 50 cigarette cards on the theme of Sea Adventure, originally issued by Hignett Brothers in 1939. It captures a moment in history when young boys were trained to become men through the rigorous sail training system, facing challenges that tested their strength and character.
The bravery and heroism displayed by Apprentice William Shotton serves as an inspiration to us all, reminding us that age is no barrier to greatness.
