Cadets in the Royal Navy

A carte-de-visite portrait showing a group of young cadets standing on the deck of an unidentified ship. The man with a knife sharpener hanging from his apron belt, standing at the centre of the group, is almost certainly the ship's cook. The bearded man beside him is probably another Petty Office.
