EDITORS COMMENTS
Bangor Pier and Training Ship Clio, North Wales (circa 1911) This evocative photograph captures the picturesque scene of Bangor Pier in North Wales, with the imposing presence of the Training Ship Clio anchored in the foreground. The pier, a popular tourist destination, stretches out into the Irish Sea, providing a connection between the historic town of Bangor and the vast expanse of water. The Training Ship Clio, a naval vessel that operated as a boys' industrial school from 1877 to 1920, adds an intriguing element to the serene setting. During this period, the Clio provided a unique educational experience for boys who were considered at risk, offering them training in seamanship, navigation, and various trades. The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw the height of the Clio's operation, and this photograph, taken around 1911, offers a glimpse into the past. The boys, dressed in their uniforms, can be seen working on the deck, while others look out to sea, perhaps dreaming of the adventures that lay ahead. The Training Ship Clio played an essential role in the lives of many young boys during this era, providing them with valuable skills and experiences that would shape their futures. Today, the pier and the Clio remain popular attractions in Bangor, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich maritime and educational history of North Wales.
