Ragged boys are being directed to Britannia outside the Marine Society's Warehouse, where they are dressed as cadets. As well as founding the Marine Society in 1756, Hanway was a vice president of the Foundling Hospital, instrumental in the establishment of the Magdalen Hospital and a commissioner for victualling the navy (experimenting with ways to alleviate scurvy amongst seamen). He is said to be the first male Londoner to carry an umbrella, facing down heckling hackney coachmen.

Scene demonstrating how the Marine Society recruited boys for sea service by providing them with clothing kits. Frontispiece to Jonas Hanway, 'Three Letters on the subject of the Marine Society' (1758). Hanway (bap.1712- d.1786) was a philanthropist and governor of the Foundling Hospital who founded the Marine Society in 1756 following the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, both saving the boys from poverty and solving the difficulties of recruitment at a time when the British navy was crucial to national trade and power. The 'Three Letters' was one of many pamphlet Hanway authored seeking support for his various causes. The Marine Society, now based in Lambeth, is still active in training for careers at sea.
