EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time as uniformed boys on the deck of the Training Ship Exmouth engage in a dumb bell drill, under the watchful eye of their crew. The Exmouth, moored off Grays in Essex, served as a naval training establishment for pauper children, most of whom had been taken from London workhouses and placed in the care of the Metropolitan Asylums Board. Dressed in their navy uniforms, these boys were given the opportunity to learn valuable skills and gain employment in the navy, providing them with a chance at a better future. The year was 1904, and the Edwardian era was drawing to a close. Poverty and housing conditions in the cities were dire, with many families struggling to make ends meet. For the pauper children, life in the workhouses was often harsh and unforgiving. The Training Ship Exmouth provided a much-needed respite, offering not only education and training but also the promise of a career in the navy. As the boys perform their drills, focusing intently on their tasks, the rigging of the ship can be seen in the background, a reminder of the seafaring life they were being prepared for. The bell, a symbol of discipline and order, adds to the historical and authentic atmosphere of the scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the Metropolitan Asylums Board and the navy worked together to provide a better future for the most vulnerable members of society. The Training Ship Exmouth and its crew played a crucial role in the lives of these boys, helping to shape their futures and giving them the skills and opportunities they needed to succeed in life.
