Hi My Grand-father John Ralph Cantell started his Royal Navy career on board this ship. 22nd May -4th June 1886. He served until 1908, had a few years off! and then was called up for WW1, and served from 1914-1919.
I love Devonport and it has changed immensely. I am part of the Beyond The Walls Project and we are trying to collate as much of that change as possible. I grew up in the 1970's and 1980's. I love old photographs as they tell me so much about where I come from. The Frith Collection is a wonderful image bank. I am also capturing images of my own.
