EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of tender care and compassion at the Sailors Orphanage in Hull, also known as the Trinity House Home and the Newland Cottage Homes. Established in the late 19th century, this institution provided a safe and nurturing environment for boys who had been left orphaned or abandoned as a result of their seafaring fathers' deaths. The boys in the image, dressed in sailor suits, appear to be engaged in a playful activity, their laughter echoing through the room. Their house mother, standing at the back left, watches over them with a watchful yet loving gaze. The Sailors Orphanage was an essential welfare and social care service that offered these boys a sense of belonging and stability during a time of great hardship. Although the exact date of this photograph is unknown, it serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role that such institutions played in the lives of countless children in Hull and beyond.
