EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the rich maritime history of North Shields, Northumberland, as young boys take part in a sailmaking class on board the Training Ship Wellesley, located on the River Tyne. Established in 1868 by local businessmen, including James Hall, as a charitable institution to provide shelter for Tyneside waifs and train young men for naval service, the Wellesley became the base of the organization in 1874. In the late 1800s, poverty was rampant, and the workhouses were overflowing with orphaned and destitute children. The boys in this photograph, dressed in their uniforms, are learning valuable skills that would prepare them for a future in the navy. The supervisor watches over them closely as they work on the deck, rigging sails and learning the intricacies of sailmaking. The Training Ship Wellesley provided not only housing and education but also transport to and from the ship, ensuring that the boys received a comprehensive training experience. The institution's historical significance is evident in this image, which transports us back to the 1870s, a time when the nautical industry was a vital part of the North East economy. Sadly, a fire in 1914 forced the institution ashore, where it became the Wellesley Nautical School. However, this photograph serves as a reminder of the important role the Training Ship Wellesley played in the lives of countless young boys, offering them a chance at a better future through practical, hands-on training in sailmaking and naval service.
