Photographer's note: 'The smack boys were apprenticed to the fishing smack skippers of Ramsgate. Founded in 1881, The home was the result of pressure put on the Board of Trade by Canon Brenan, Vicar of Christ Church, Ramsgate. No other British fishing port appears to have copied this unique facility.'
