Remains of the Warspite training-ship at low tide, 1876. View of the aftermath of '...the destruction by fire...of the Warspite training-ship, lying off Charlton...showing the remains of the vessel at low tide. An examination has been made of the wreck by Captain Phipps and Mr. F. Wyatt, the ship's carpenter, in order to gain information as to the origin of the fire and the situation of the outbreak, but with no very great result so far. Messrs. Castle, of the Admiralty ship-breaking yard, are at present engaged in a similar work upon the Goliath training-ship, which was burnt on Dec. 22 [1875]. The boys of the Goliath are nearly all distributed amongst the workhouses to which they belong; while those of the Warspite are mostly at their own homes, until accommodation for them can be provided by the Government'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
