Madam
I was in hopes of being able to tell you of such a training ship as you desire, knowing that there was one under the management in part of a Mr Chambers, an excellent Churchman but I find that is a Reformatory Ship and that I suppose would hardly be what you wish, but if you would like further enquiries to be made, I could procure Mr Chambers address.1

Yours truly
C M Yonge (Ed M P)

1MP (January 1865) 'Notices to Correspondents' noted 'A Subscriber may be glad to know that funds are being raised to establish a training ship in the Mersey for good destitute boys, on a similar plan to the Akbar Reformatory Ship. Treasurer, John Clint Esq., Liverpool.’ George H. Chambers was chairman of the committee of the training ship Worcester (The Times 29 September 1874).
