Just seen your posting whilst looking for info on Goliath/Exmouth which were based in Grays for part of their time.

Goliath was one of the School Ships based in Grays from Nov 1870 to December 1875 when she was destroyed by fire and so comes before your period.

She was replaced by The Exmouth (owned by Metropolitan Asylum Board/LCC) in 1876 and contined until 1939 when she left for a further career at Wolverstone Hall as part of the London Nautical Training School until 1951.

Website <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://ts2000.royalnavy.co.uk">http://ts2000.royalnavy.co.uk</a> gives good details on the Exmouth including lists of occupants for 1881. The same website also gives details on other training ships.

Regards
