Plan to reform discharged royal sailors and aid maimed boys
The Marine Society in Athops details a plan to care for boys discharged from the King's ships and other distressed seamen. It outlines funding via subscriptions from notable figures such as Lord Romney and Sir Charles Asgill, plus banking partners in London. The aim is to remove vagabond risk by placing youths at ports or sending them to London for support, with pay considerations for discharged sailors and a push to enlist civil magistrates' backing.
