Advanced Domestic First Class on 23 April 1892, he was discharged to shore on 24 January 1895.
In 1875 the Metropolitan Asylums Board set up a Poor Law Training School and were lent the 2nd rate ship-of-the-line H.M.S. Exmouth (built in 1854) for that purpose.

Like similar ships, the school provided an education and nautical training for the boys in its care and prepared them for service in the Royal and Merchant Navies.
