Hamburg's school for young sailors is the subject here, a training establishment in one of Germany's great port cities where boys learned the work of seamanship. Hamburg was among Europe's busiest harbors in the early 1900s, and shipping lines drew deckhands from the city's working families, so schools like this met a steady need. The picture comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that distributed news photographs widely in the first decades of the twentieth century. The record gives no date and its title is unverified, so the exact school and year remain uncertain.
