EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Mount Edgcumbe Industrial Training Ship Band in Saltash, Cornwall, during the late 1870s. Established in 1877, the Mount Edgcumbe was a vital institution for homeless and destitute boys aged 12-15, who were placed there by magistrates. The boys received training in seamanship, with many going on to join the naval services or becoming military bandsmen. The boys in this photograph proudly wear their uniforms, a testament to the discipline and structure instilled in them. The image exudes a sense of historical significance, transporting us back to the Victorian era when poverty and homelessness were rampant. The boys, with their instruments in hand - drums, horns, trumpets, and cornets - embody the spirit of music and camaraderie that thrived within the ship's community. The Mount Edgcumbe Training Ship was a beacon of hope for boys who had no other prospects. It provided them with valuable skills and a sense of purpose, enabling them to break free from the cycle of poverty and homelessness. The boys' musical abilities were often the gateway to further opportunities, as many graduated to become accomplished military bandsmen. The photograph showcases the boys on the deck of the ship, surrounded by the rigging and sails. The setting underscores the nautical nature of their training and the importance of seamanship in their lives. The image is a poignant reminder of the past, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a tribute to the transformative power of education and training.
