1. Title: "A Home Away from Sea: Boys of the St. Andrew's Home at Hull Sailors Orphanage" This evocative photograph captures a moment of warmth and care at the Hull Sailors Orphanage, also known as the Newland Cottage Homes, in an unknown date. The image showcases a group of young boys, all dressed in sailor suits, gathered around their house mother at the centre of the room. The Hull Sailors Orphanage was established to provide welfare and social care services for children who had been left orphaned or abandoned as a result of the maritime industry's hazardous nature. The boys in the photograph appear to be engrossed in their activities, with some playing with toys, while others listen attentively to their house mother. The sailor suits worn by the boys are a poignant reminder of their connection to the sea and the maritime community. The orphanage aimed to provide a sense of continuity and identity for these children, many of whom had lost their families to the perils of the sea. The house mother, seated at the centre of the group, exudes a nurturing and protective presence. Her role was crucial in providing the boys with a stable and loving environment, helping them to heal and grow. The image underscores the importance of social care services in supporting vulnerable children and ensuring they receive the love, care, and opportunities they deserve. The Hull Sailors Orphanage, with its focus on providing a home-like atmosphere, stands as a testament to the compassionate and resilient spirit of the community in caring for its most vulnerable members. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the importance of such services in ensuring the wellbeing and development of children in need.
