The training ship Mount Edgcumbe started life at Woolwich as the 56-gun HMS Winchester. In 1861, the Admiralty lent her to the Marine Society who moored her at Liverpool and re-named her the Conway. After being returned to the Admiralty in 1876, she became HMS Mount Edgcumbe. On June 28th, 1877, she was recommissioned as the Mount Edgcumbe Industrial Training Ship for Homeless and Destitute Boys and anchored at Saltash in Cornwall. The ship was associated with the Reformatory and Refuge Union. In 1911, Mount Edgcumbe had accommodation for 250 boys between the ages of 12 and 14 years. The payment required for residence was 8s. per week. A sea-going tender was attached to the ship. The boys were mainly drafted into the Mercantile Marine. In 1910, Captain H Wesley Harkcom was appointed as Captain Superintendent and introduced many changes. He dispensed with the word 'Industrial' in the title, stopped using the birch on the boys, and he bought as much of their provisions from the local businesses as he could. Mount Edgcumbe was closed down on December 4th, 1920. The ship was sold off a few months later and was soon afterwards towed to Plymouth where she was broken up.13 |
