Boys Performing Seamanship Display - A Glimpse into the Training of Young Seamen at Feltham Industrial School, London, 1908
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the early 20th century, offering a rare glimpse into the seamanship training of young boys at Feltham Industrial School in London. The image showcases their impressive skills as they stand fearlessly on the masts and rigging of an old sailing ship with part of its hull removed. The scene is filled with energy and determination as these boys demonstrate their proficiency in handling the ropes and navigating through challenging heights. Their unwavering focus is evident from their expressions, reflecting both discipline and excitement for this unique display. Located on Ashford Road in Feltham, this renowned educational institution played a vital role in shaping young minds by providing them with practical skills necessary for a life at sea. Under the guidance of experienced instructors from the Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council (LCC), these future seamen were trained rigorously to face any challenges that awaited them on water transport vessels. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this historical photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the dedication put forth by both students and educators alike. It stands as a reminder of how education can empower individuals to pursue their dreams while contributing meaningfully to society's progress.
