Other Training Ships

There were, and still are many maritime training establishments around the
world. The following list excludes the many vessels used purely for sail
training. Britain seems to be the only country without a 'tall ship' for
training naval officers, even the smallest of these centers have hundreds
of cadets training for a career at sea...

UK - Indefatigable (UK)
Founded in 1864 HMS Indefatigable was fitted out by the Bibby family.
In 1914 she was replaced by HMS Phaeton which became the second
Indefatigable. She was moored close to the Conway off Rock Ferry
Pier. In 1941, as with Conway Cadets, Indefatigable boys were moved
away from the Mersey and ashore. The ship was renamed Carrick II and
moved to Glasgow where she still lies. Like Conway in 1944
Indefatigable moved to shore accommodation in Plas Menai below the
Tubular Bridge on the Menai Straits, Wales, UK. She survived until
1995 when dwindling numbers forced her closure. Her last Headmaster
was a Conway

UK - Pangbourne Nautical College (UK)
Pangbourne was established in 1917 and still survives to this day in
Pangbourne, near Reading by the Thames. Whilst she is no longer a
nautical training establishment there is a strong seafaring tradition
and nautical roots. Pupils wear dark blue Royal Navy dress, attend
Divisions on Sundays. The college clock chimes the bells of the
watch.. They are erecting a Falkland Islands Chapel (the relocated
and rebuilt Elim Church from Salisbury) in memory of those seamen who
gave their lives in the Falklands. This includes 14 OPs.
