Description:
Royal Naval Hospital (Hong Kong) was the Royal Navy’s medical facility in the colony. The RNH began in 1841 on the site of the Wellington Barracks on Hong Kong Island. A typhoon destroyed the hospital and was temporarily located on HMS Minden, a third-rate sailing ship. This ship was replaced by HMS Alligator in 1846, a sixth-rate frigate and HMS Melville, another third-rate sailing ship in 1857. The hospital returned to shore briefly at the Seamen’s Hospital in 1873
