| Description: The Royal Hospital School at Greenwich was Britain's largest school of navigation and seamanship. From 1821 to 1933 it occupied the Queen's House and the other buildings that are now the National Maritime Museum. Boys were accepted into the school on the understanding that they would then join the Royal Navy. They entered between the ages of five and twelve. On arrival they were given a medical check and assigned a number, a group (named after a famous admiral) and a nautical uniform such as the example shown here. |
