| Description: The Metropolitan Asylums Board's hospital ships moored at Long Reach on the Thames. From left to right they were the 'Atlas' - an old man-of-war, the former frigate 'Endymion', and the former Channel steamer 'Castalia'. Between 1884 and 1902 almost all detected smallpox cases in London were sent to these ships. |
