The Nautical Branch of the State Reform School, known as the Massachusetts Nautical School from 1867, was authorized in 1859 and in operation in Boston and later New Bedford between 1860 and 1872. Delinquent boys were instructed in seamanship and navigation, and if successful, transferred to outside shipping. Case histories document students' background, stay at, and discharge from the institution, for those berthed on the ship George M. Barnard, acquired in 1866.
