Seaman's Hospital

Seaman's Hospital

Seaman's Hospital was originally opened by Dr Young, a surgeon of the Honourable East India Company in 1843 during the First Opium War. [http://www.pdavis.nl/RN_Hosp.htm pdavis.nl] ]

History

The hospital was financially supported by Jardine Matheson and Company in Wan Chai, Colonial Hong Kong under the British Royal Navy. The facility was closed in 1873 due to financial difficulties. [http://www.pdavis.nl/RN_Hosp.htm pdavis.nl] ]

The Royal Naval Hospital later replaced the Seaman's Hospital.
