 Training ship Exmouth, anchored off Grays. Though it looks like a mid-19th century man o' war, it is actually a 1905 steel replica for the original "Exmouth", (which had seen action in the Black Sea during the Crimean War), which in later years had served as a training ship for children aged 12-14 intent on a career in the Royal Navy. It was only broken up in Belgium in the 1970s.
