EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Prince Albert, later King George VI (1895-1952), performs the ceremonial laying of the foundation stone for a new Nautical School in Poole, Dorset, on July 17, 1919. The site for the school was generously donated by Sir Russell Cotes, a local philanthropist and art collector, to provide training for boys from the Merchant Navy in association with Dr. Barnardo's Homes. The future monarch, dressed in a formal suit and wearing a top hat, is seen standing next to a large crane with a winch, as a worker taps the stone with a mallet to mark its official beginning. The nautical theme is reflected in the setting, with ships and boats visible in the background, as well as the uniformed boys of the Merchant Navy looking on with pride and anticipation. The Nautical School was an important initiative to support the Merchant Navy, which played a crucial role in the transportation of goods during World War I and continued to be an essential part of the British economy. The collaboration with Dr. Barnardo's Homes aimed to provide education and opportunities for disadvantaged boys, ensuring a skilled workforce for the Merchant Navy and contributing to the community of Poole and beyond. This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of maritime education and the generosity of Sir Russell Cotes and Dr. Barnardo's Homes in providing opportunities for young boys in need. The image is a testament to the enduring importance of education, community, and the spirit of philanthropy.
