Life at sea was hard and required the highest standards of training to instill qualities of leadership necessary for cadets to become officers in the British Merchant Navy. The training ship HMS Conway was specially founded for this purpose, and during its 115 year existence it trained over 11, 000 young boys for life in the Merchant Navy, Royal Navy and other armed services, not only in Britain but in navies worldwide.
