Princess Louise giving the prizes in the Clyde training-ship Cumberland, in Roseneath Bay, 1871. '...the poor boys of Glasgow,...350 in number, dressed in neat blue jackets and clean white trousers [note the bare feet], gave the Princess some hearty cheers as she stepped on board, and walked round the ship. She was dressed in white, with a bright crimson underskirt, a black velvet hat, with crimson feathers, and primrose gloves...For the senior boys there was a series of silver medals, awarded for Bible knowledge, seamanship, school studies, swimming, and good conduct. These were pinned by the Princess to the breasts of the successful competitors; and her Royal Highness afterwards distributed the clasp-knives and other articles which formed the prizes of the junior pupils...Mr. Galbraith then presented to her Royal Highness, from the boys, an album containing all their photographs, which she graciously accepted...Mr. Lefevre, as Secretary to the Admiralty, made some remarks on the value of these training-ships to the service of the Navy, as well as to the mercantile marine. The singing of the National Anthem ended the proceedings'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
