National Nautical School : ウィキペディア英語版 | National Nautical School The National Nautical School in Portishead, within the English county of Somerset, was created in 1869 for destitute and neglected boys of Bristol. It was based on HMS ''Formidable'' moored off the shore from 1870 until 1906. It then used a purpose built facility nearby until its closure in 1982. ==Formation== The National Nautical School was formed by a committee composed of several Bristol business men led by Henry Fedden as a training school for penniless boys aged between 10 and 15 from Bristol. Many of the semi-delinquent boys were sent by the courts. Feddon was chairman of the Bristol Board of Magistrates and frequently saw boys brought before the courts on charges of truancy, theft and begging. An application was made to open the school under the Industrial Schools Act of 1866. At least £2,700 was raised by voluntary contributions from local citizens.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.workhouses.org.uk/trainingships/#Formidable )〕 The committee were offered HMS ''Ajax''. However, the repair bill for the ship would have been considerable, and they therefore repetitioned the navy and were eventually leased HMS ''Formidable''.
