EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at South Wharf, Rotherhithe, in south east London, during the early 20th century. The image portrays a view of hospital shelters where smallpox patients awaited transportation down the Thames to hospital ships moored at Long Reach near Dartford, Kent. The extensive ventilators on the roof of the block in the foreground were essential for maintaining a healthy environment in the cramped shelter. Nurses, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, stand outside the shelter, ready to assist the patients. The Maltese Cross river ambulance, operated by the Metropolitan Asylums Board, is visible at the centre right of the photograph. This ambulance was a vital part of the transportation process, helping to transfer patients from the shelter to the hospital ships. The path leading to the shelter is lined with a sense of somberness, as the reality of the illness and the isolation it brought settles in. The hospital ships, with their tall funnels, can be seen in the distance, moored at Long Reach. The Thames, a major artery of transportation, played a crucial role in the transportation of patients during this time. This historical photograph, taken in 1902, offers a glimpse into the past, providing insights into the medical care and health practices during the Edwardian era. The shelter, with its simple yet functional design, served as a crucial link in the chain of care for those afflicted with smallpox. The image also highlights the important role of the Metropolitan Asylums Board and the Maltese Cross river ambulance in transporting patients to the hospital ships for treatment. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, and the resilience and dedication of the medical professionals who cared for the sick during a time when illness was a significant threat to public health.
