The pay for boys does not seem large when compared with what most they will have had the great ad of them received in their previous vantage of having lived afloat and having become familiar with ship life, The Calehdonia is one of five training stations for the Navy—HM.S. Ganges, at Shotley, Suffolk; H.M.S. St. Vincent, at Gosport; -H.MS, Impregnable, Devonport; H.M.S. Wildfire, Catham, and H.MS. Caledonia, Rosyth. Although all five bear the names of ships, all, but the Caledonia are shore stations.
It was understood when the Majest-ie was purchased that it would merely be a temporary station pending the building of a shore establishment at Rosyth, But so much money has been spent on its conversion, and so much interest has been aroused by the use of such a ship for this parpose, that there are many who would not be surprised if no Shore establishment were ever built and if the Majestic remained H.M.S. Caledonia indefinitely.
