Perhaps the most interesting item within this collection is the six page report concerning the public floating school; a school intended to school young mariners. Pupils were to be taught the handling of ropes and sails and were to help keep the ship's log. The pupils were to learn seamanship, which would include learning how to bend the sails and to make the school into a likeness for a ship well-appointed and ready for voyage. Uniforms and other sundries were to be supplied and: “The boys to be allowed to go aloft at any time when not interfering with their other duties...” An additional section on the floating school from the principal (bound later in this volume) is prefaced superb engravings showing the floating school ship and facing diagrams of the ship's deck and school deck.
