Framed Print of Life on board a troop-ship: the stokehole, 1874. Creator: Unknown
Life on board a troop-ship: the stokehole, 1874. The sketches by Major W. O. Carlile, R.A. representing the ordinary scenes and incidents of daily habit among the soldiers of our army, when embarked on their voyage to a distant field of service in foreign or colonial lands, are continued by two more Illustrations. They were taken on board H.M.S. Himalaya, a Government troop-ship, and it is not unlikely that the regulations are different in some respects on board a hired transport-vessel. The troops conveyed by the Himalaya upon this occasion were required to work as assistant stokers, bringing the coal from the bunks in a skid for the engine fires. Four men were so employed at once, taking their turn during four hours; twelve men were daily told off for the service, and were ranged in three divisions, each working its two four-hour turns, with an interval of eight hours. Their extra pay for this duty is a shilling a day while at sea, ninepence while in harbour. The ship provides them with oatmeal and water, a good and safe thing to drink in a hot climate. From Illustrated London News, 1874. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
