Seamans Mission Chaplain on a merchant ship, 1906
Photograph showing a Mission to Seamen Chaplain sitting on a merchant ship, sharing his tobacco with the crew, 1906. Mission boats were at work in many of the worlds largest ports, at this time. They visited ships to hold church services and distribute gifts. There were also Seamans Institutes in many ports, where visiting merchant sailors could spend evenings playing games, listening to music or just relaxing in sober, upstanding surroundings
