Category:H.M.S. Britannia (Training Ship) Entrants of September, 1867

Forty-five naval cadets and nine navigating cadets of ninety-nine candidates of the August testing were accepted, in the following order of merit.^[1]

I'm apparently having trouble precisely identifying eight men in the list below, whose names are given simply as offered in the article in The Times. Their apparent absence in The Navy List of June, 1875 imples that they lasted a short time in the service.

These marks indicate from whence certain of the men passed in:

• * == Eastman's Naval Academy, Southsea
• + == Reverend Thomas Knight's, St. Mary's-hall, Southsea
• ++ == Stubbington-house, Fareham
