EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Mr. T.B. Royden JP, the esteemed Chairman of the governing committee for the historic naval training ship HMS Conway, as he stands proudly on the deck of the vessel in 1898. Established in 1859, HMS Conway was a significant part of Liverpool's maritime heritage, moored on the River Mersey for many years. Mr. Royden's leadership role in the committee was a testament to his dedication and commitment to the ship's rich history and tradition. The Training Ship HMS Conway was a vital institution for young seafarers, providing them with essential training and experience in seamanship, navigation, and discipline. The ship's long and storied history began in 1859 when it was commissioned by the Liverpool Corporation to provide training for local boys. Over the decades, it became a respected institution, producing generations of skilled sailors who went on to serve in the Merchant Navy and the Royal Navy. In this photograph, Mr. Royden's stern gaze and impeccably dressed attire convey a sense of authority and determination. The backdrop of the majestic HMS Conway, with its sails billowing in the wind, underscores the importance of the ship and its mission. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a valuable record of a bygone era in Liverpool's maritime history.
