Greenwich naval hospital, английский
In 1694, by royal charter, king william and queen mary founded the royal naval hospital for seamen (later abbreviated to greenwich hospital), its stated aims being in part: the reliefe and support of seamen belonging to the navy royall ... who by reason of age, woundes, or other disabilities shall be incapable for further service.... and for the sustentation of widows and the maintenance and education of the children of seamen happening to be slain or disabled. the first of eventually over three thousand seamen arrived in 1705. despite their magnificent accommodation (in a former royal palace) there were numerous complaints of poor food and petty humiliations. for even minor offenses the proud old sea dogs were forced to wear their uniform coats inside out, the yellow linings proclaiming their shame to all the world. numbers fell after the napoleonic wars, and in 1869 the hospital closed. however, the institution lived on and still provides charitable support to serving and retired men and women of the royal navy and royal marines and their dependents. it also runs a co-educational school for the children and grandchildren of naval and other seafaring families.
