T.S.Mount Edgucmbe by Bruce Hunt
Training Ship for Homeless and Destitute Boys
£12.95
The Training Ship Mount Edgcumbe lay at anchor off Saltash for over 40 years, just up river from Brunel’s Royal Albert Bridge. Although a familiar landmark to the people of Saltash, there was little detailed information about the ship. It is thought that most of the records were retained by the last Superintendent, Captain Harkcom, and destroyed in WW2.
Recent research into the ship by Bruce Hunt has enabled the ships story and its relationship with Saltash to be told for the first time.

Although emphasis is usually concentrated on the land war in Europe, it really was a WORLD WAR affecting most countries and all corners of the globe.
When hostilities ended on the 11th November 1918 it is estimated that there were 16 million dead and 20 million wounded. British dead totalled 995,939 with 1,663,435 wounded.
The war affected everyone; this book looks at Saltash, before, during and after the war.
