GREENWICH ROYAL NAVAL HOSPITAL

A view across the river of the Royal Hospital for Seamen, where John Sercombe (1794-1862) ended his days. In 1694, Mary II founded the Hospital on the site of Greenwich Palace. It would be a charity for sailors from the Royal Navy who were too old, sick or badly wounded to continue service.
