Replacing the long-serving original Arethusa in 1933, this vessel played a significant role in providing care and training for children and young people. The Training Ship Arethusa II was more than just a ship; it was a children's home and a youth development center, offering a unique and transformative experience for its residents. Young boys, often from challenging backgrounds, were given the opportunity to live aboard and learn the skills necessary for a career at sea. The ship provided a structured environment, fostering discipline, teamwork, and self-reliance.
