Visit of the Boys of the Clyde training-ship Cumberland to H.M.S. Aurora, 1876. Creator: Unknown

Visit of the Boys of the Clyde training-ship Cumberland to H.M.S. Aurora, 1876. Engraving from a sketch by Captain Grier. The little fellows seemed delighted at witnessing the manoeuvres of the seamen, which were explained to them by the officers...Commander Hewitt gave orders to go through the process of setting sail. Immediately the shrouds were covered by the bluejackets, and before a minute had elapsed the maintop, mizentop, and foretop sails were spread; the topgallant sails were shaken out and the yards hoisted, then the royals, and lastly the lower sails....Commander Hewitt put the men through the exercise of "manning and arming boats." The launches, the pinnace, the cutters, and the gig were manned, a small breechloading gun was lowered and fixed at the stern of the steam-launch, and the cutters got out their rocket-tubes and set off towards a supposed enemy on shore...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876
