Rev Canon Bob Evans: Brand new Title.
The INDE

From a very fortunate meeting two years ago, I first met Canon Bob Evans and Chaplin Roy Paul - Mersey Mission to Seaman, at an Indefatigable Old Boys reunion promoting one of Bob’s books ‘The Training Ships of Liverpool’. Although Indefatigable had been previously included in the ‘Training Ships’ book, I knew we had to have Bob write the much fuller account of our story and history and most of all about us the Trainees.

As a boy I had no doubt that I wanted to go to sea, from Sea Cadets in North London (TS Barossa), to Anglesey THE INDEFATIGABLE, which was the making of me and now although the School has subsequently closed, I have always considered it to be my spiritual home which I’ve since discovered holds the same meaning to so many others!

Many of the Boys who attended this School gave up their lives defending the UK as members of the Merchant Navy and Armed Services and this book is dedicated to all her Trainees and Staff of ‘THE INDE’.

Bob Evans takes us back onboard the ‘Inde’, he has woven a story of personal experiences to meet the boys of old and the masters who steered us through tough discipline but with the utmost respect, taught us to identify and help others who were not so fortunate.

The book is written by and on behalf of those who were at the Indefatigable, by Canon Bob Evans, who quotes, “This is one hell of a story”. This book is about the boys and their successors, it’s their story, and there has never been a book exclusively on the Training Ship Indefatigable and School.

This is a unique occasion and a memorable event that many have participated in. The Indefatigable Old Boys Association is proud for what Bob Evans has unlocked. I know you will enjoy our story.

Forever the Inde!
