Hand-coloured etching and aquatint showing the 'Dreadnought' hospital ship open to sailors of any nation, moored at Greenwich by the Seamen's Hospital Society. She was built in 1801 and became the merchant seamen's hospital off Greenwich in about 1830, replacing the 'Grampus', and was broken up in 1857. The next ship on the berth was the120-gun 'Caledonia', launched in 1808 at Plymouth, which was renamed 'Dreadnought' for the purpose and used until the Seaman's Hospital Society took over the old infirmary of Greenwich Hospital ashore in 1870, after the final closure of the Hospital itself in 1869. The building was then renamed 'Dreadnought Seamen's' Hospital' and remained in medical use until 1986. After some years empty it was then converted as the Dreadnought Building of the University of Greenwich, initially for library and office uses but at time of writing (2016) is being further redeveloped as a general hub building for the Maritime Greenwich university campus. This print from William Collingwood Smith's large watercolour, PAJ2839. PAI6680 is another copy. [PvdM amended 10/16]
