EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Training Ship Clio, moored off the shores of Bangor in the Menai Straits, North Wales, in 1909. Established in 1877 by the City of Chester and Border Counties Training Ship Society, the Clio provided vital training in seamanship for destitute and poor respectable boys aged 12-15. Many of these boys went on to join one of the naval services, offering them a chance at a better future. During the Victorian and Edwardian eras, workhouses were the last resort for those in poverty, and the Clio served as a charitable alternative, providing boys with essential skills and education. The ship's mooring in the picturesque Menai Straits, with its rich maritime history, added to the boys' learning experience. The Training Ship Clio was a beacon of hope for many young boys, offering them a valuable opportunity to learn the art of seamanship and transport themselves out of poverty. This photograph, taken in 1909, captures a moment in history when the Clio was at its peak, providing essential services to those in need. The Training Ship Clio's legacy continues to inspire, as it stands as a testament to the power of charitable organizations and the impact they can have on individuals and communities. This photograph, with its historical significance and beautiful setting, offers a glimpse into the past and the important role that such organizations played in shaping the lives of young boys in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
