The 'Clio', 1877-1920 : a study of the functions of an industrial training ship in North Wales /by Emrys Wyn Roberts.

"Officially, the Clio - moored in the Menai Strait - was a care and training ship for young 'street ruffians' in the second half of the nineteenth century. This study shows that it also provided a regular supply of seamen for the Royal Navy and the Mercantile Marine. Letters of some of the old boys of Clio during the First World War and an unique collection of photographs combine to make this book a fascinating history of a pre-1918 Education Act establishment."--Provided by the publisher.
