The Duke of Edinburgh's visit to the Clyde training-ship Cumberland, 1881. 'The Duke of Edinburgh, as Admiral of the Reserve Squadron...made an official inspection of the Cumberland training-ship, which is stationed at the mouth of the Gareloch...the Cumberland...is of the class termed Industrial Training-Ships, and has received 1700 boys, and trained them with great success, in the thirteen years of her existence...The banks were occupied by spectators, who cheered and waved their handkerchiefs. The estuary was alive with white-winged yachts which scudded across the bows of the steamer; while other yachts lay at their moorings dressed out in all their flags. Five Government ships were anchored abreast, adorned from stern to stern with bunting. The Cumberland flew the blue ensign of the Naval Reserve: and as soon as the Alligator came to anchor, the boats of the Cumberland, rowed by smart young sailors, pulled alongside to convey her company to the Cumberland. Having boarded her, his Royal Highness...went through the ship, and pronounced its arrangements satisfactory. He then distributed the prizes...given by Mr. John Macgregor, for good conduct and proficiency in school and seamanship'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
