EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment at the Sailors Orphan Homes in Hull, also known as Newland Homes, established in 1895 by The Port of Hull Society. The image, taken circa 1907, depicts a group of recent arrivals at the home, with the young faces of children and youths filled with a mix of curiosity, apprehension, and hope. The Sailors Orphan Homes were created to provide care and support for children who had been left destitute as a result of their seafaring fathers' deaths. The Port of Hull Society, a charitable organization, recognized the need for such a facility in the bustling port city, where the maritime industry claimed many lives. The children in the photograph are dressed in their best clothes, likely donated or provided by the organization, as they prepare to begin their new life at the home. The warm, inviting expression of the matron or caregiver in the background suggests that they will be welcomed and nurtured in their new surroundings. The history of the Sailors Orphan Homes is an important part of Hull's rich maritime heritage. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the compassionate care that was provided to these children during a time when they needed it most.
