An Appeal on behalf of THE SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY by The Rt. Hon.
Lord LLOYD OF DOLOBRAN, G.C.S.I.,
G.C.I.E., D.S.O.
The Charter of the Seamen's Hospital Society provides that treatment may not be refused to any seaman, whatever his class, creed, or colour. It was at the Royal Albert Dock Hospital that the Society first inaugurated a tropical section, for the purpose of both treatment and teaching, which is now yet another of the Society's branches-the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in London.
For forty-five years the Albert Dock Hospital has served an ever-growing need in London's dockland, and in the past few years it has become apparent that it is literally falling down. A new building is a matter of the greatest urgency, and it is estimated that an adequate structure, properly equipped, will cost about £65,000. The Port of London Authority has generously promised £25,000. There still remains to be collected an additional £40,000.
