Summary

Description
English: Training mast at H.M.S. Ganges H.M.S. Ganges was a training establishment for the Royal Navy. My dad was here as a 15-year old cadet in 1947, and he told me that on fine Sunday afternoons (their only free time) he and his friends would sit on the lowest yardarm on the mast to soak up the sun. Every cadet had to climb to the semi-circular platform just below the highest yardarm at least once during their training; the bravest (not my dad!) climbed to the very top of the mast and stood on the 12-inch diameter cap.
