Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the Trinity Hospital, a national monument with roots in the Middle Ages, exploring its evolution over the centuries to the Stuart period in the 17th century. The author traces the role it played in the birth of Britain's navy, housing seamen, aiding their widows, and serving as a cradle for England's admiralty board. The author shows how the hospital represents the merging of guild, maritime, and military functions into the foundations of what would become the Royal Navy. The intertwined stories of the Trinity Hospital and its key players, including Samuel Pepys and Sir Richard Browne, illuminate the complex relationship between charitable and military functions in 17th-century England.
