Greenwich Marine Society

The Marine Society's offices were at 547 Bishopsgate Street from 24 September 1774 until 18 December 1890. The Society was founded in 1756 by Jonas Hanway to encourage boys and men to volunteer for the navy. By 1940 it had provided almost 40,000 men and over 36,000 boys for the Royal Navy and some 35,000 boys for the merchant service

The Society also took over the collection and clothing of poor boys, who were sent to the king’s ships as servants. The Society relied on donations and subscriptions made by merchants and leading members of the establishment, such as Nelson. By the end of the war, the Society had provided the navy with 5451 men and 5174 boys.

After the war, the Society focused its work on boys. An Act of Parliament in 1772 allowed it to apprentice poor boys to the royal and merchant services. In 1786 the Society commissioned the first pre-sea training ship in the world, the Beatty, to provide a regular supply of trained boys.

This was a small ex-merchant vessel moored off Deptford. The boys were educated while living on board. The 30 new recruits were supervized by a superintendent, mate, schoolmaster, boatswain and cook.

After several years, the Admiralty lent the Society a new vessel. In 1862, the Society was lent the first of a number of vessels named Warspite.

In 1901, Warspite was moved down the Thames to Greenhithe, ending Deptford and Woolwich's long association with the training ships.

Boys were admitted into the Worcester from the ages of 12 to 15 and into the Warspite from 14 to 16.

The two schools had very different philosophies. The Warspite stipulated that the boys must come from a poor background, but be of good character, and that their parents must be unable to cover the cost of fitting them out for naval life.

The cadets were given a basic education, similar to that in a normal school, but they also received lessons in:

 

seamanship

navigation

nautical astronomy

gunnery.

A Marine Society apprenticeship indenture....National Maritime Museum, London

29 May 1862

The entry records a letter from the Admiralty, offering the Society the use of the Royal Navy vessel HMS 'Warspite' in place of their old vessel 'Venus', which was said to be in a 'defective state'.
