Hans Busk the younger (1815 - 1882) was one of the principal originators of the volunteer movement in England. He took an equal interest in the navy. Originally it was his intention to adopt a naval career, and, being forced to abandon it, he devoted much of his leisure to yachting. He mastered the principles of naval construction, and made designs for several yachts which were very successful. He was the first to advocate life-ship stations, and fitted out a model life-ship at his own expense.
Busk's youngest sister, Rachel Harriette Busk, was an authoress of repute. Parker: 2284. NMM: PAH8792.

In 1857 the Liverpool branch of the Mercantile Marine Service Association was established in order to improve the competence and standards of the ships, officers and men. One aim of the Association was to establish schools for the training of boys and men for careers in the Mercantile Marine.
HMS Conway, 26-gun sixth rate launched in 1832, was offered by the Admiralty and the training ship was founded on 1st August 1859. It became a national institute for the training of future officers of the Merchant Navy. On arrival in the Mersey, the Conway was moored off Rock Ferry. The original Conway was replaced after two years by HMS Winchester and in 1876 was again replaced by HMS Nile . Both were renamed Conway .
The artist and printer of this lithograph, John Raphael Isaac (1808-1870), lived and worked in Liverpool, England, and produced much nautical material during his career, both his own work and that of others. An 1843 letter from him to photography pioneer Henry Fox Talbot gives his address as “Establishment for Designing, Engraving, & Lithography, Liverpool, 62 Castle St.”, the same address as on the 1857 portfolio. Census records list him as “Draftsman, Engraver, Lithographer & Printer, employing 9 men” in Liverpool. James Beazley Esqr., a ship owner from Liverpool, headed the association at its inauguration. Liverpool was the largest emigration port in the British Isles at this time. NMM:PAH9232.

HMS Daring was a 12 gun-brig of the Royal Navy built in Portsmouth Dockyard in 1844. She formed part of the 1844 Experimental Brig Squadron. The Experimental Squadrons of the Royal Navy were groups of ships sent out in the 1830s and 1840s to test new techniques of ship design, armament, building and propulsion against old ones. They came about as a result of conflict between the 'empirical' school of shipbuilding (led by William Symonds, Surveyor of the Navy), the 'scientific' school led by the first School of Naval Architecture (closed in 1832), and the 'traditional' school led by Master Shipwrights from the Royal Dockyards.
