PREFACE.

THE ancient Royal Palace of Placentia at Greenwich, in
which Henry VIII. and his children. Queen Maiy anil
Queen Elizabeth, were born, and in which also Edward VI.
died, stood near to the river at the north-east part of the
grounds of Green-wich Hospital. A portion of the crypt of this
palace is still in existence, and forms part of the foundation of
the present building.
After the restoration. King .Charles II. , finding the old Palace
in great need of repair, determined to pull it down and erect a
new one. ' One wiiig only, erected in 1664 by Webb, a:fter a
design of his father-in-law, Inigo Jones, was completed in that
monarch's reign, and the Palace remained in the same unfinished
state until it was granted by King William III. and Queen Mary
for the purposed of establishing a Hospital for- the relief and
support of seamen of the Royal Navy who, by reason of age,
wounds, or other disabilities, were incapable of further service at
sea, and unable, to maintain themselves. The need of -such an insti
tution at that time was made evident by the number of seamen
wounded and disabled at the battle of^ La' Hogue, and imme
diately after that victory Queen Mary publicly declared, in her
husband's name, that the building commenced by King Charles
should be completed as a retreat for seamen disabled in the
service of their country. The dedication of the Royai Palace to
this patriotic purpose is commemorated in the following inscrip
tion, which is to hp seen round the frieze of the Painted Hall : —
" Pietas augusta ut habitent secure et publice alantur qui publicae
" securitati invigilarunt, regia Grenovici, Mariae auspiciis, sub-
" levandis nautis destinata regnantibus Gulielmo et MariS.
" MDCxciv,'' which has been thus translated,: — The pious regard
of Queen Maiy dedicated this Palace of Greenwich for the relief
and maintenance, at the public expense, of those seamen who
have protected the public safety in the reign of William and
Mary, 1694.
The building erected by Charles II. forms the eastern half of
the north-west quarter of the .present buildings. The west front,
erected 1696-98, was rebuilt in 1814. The three other quarters
are called : — Queen Anne's Building (the north-east quarter),
commenced in 1698 ; King William's Building (the south-west
quarter), erected 1698-1703; and Queen Mary's Building (the
south-east quarter) finished in 1527. The general design for the
completion of the buildings,, with the colonnades and two domes,
was gratuitously furnished by Sir Christopher Wren. , ¦
The funds employed in the building and . maintenance of the
¦ Hospital were derived from liberal subscriptions of the King,

GALLERY OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL.

who gave 2,oooL a year, the great officers of State and many
private individuals, from grants of Parliament, various benefac
tions in land and money, grants of fines levied on smugglers, a
duty of sixpence per month paid out of the wages of all seamen,
the estates forfeited by the Earl of Derwentwater, who was
attainted and executed for his share in the rebellion of 1715, the
unclaimed and forfeited shares of prize and bounty money, and
from other less important sources. The property of the Chest at
Chatham, a fund instituted by Sir John Hawkins about 1588, from
which small pensions were granted to hurt and maimed seamen of
the Royal Navy, was transferred to Greenwich Hospital in 1814.
The first pensioners were received into the Hospital in 1705,
and the numbers were increased from time io time, as the state
of the buildings and the revenue of the Hospital permitted, imtil
they reached in 1814 the highest complement of 2,710 men.
From 1763 out-pensions were granted from the funds of the
Hospital, but these pensions increased so much in amount that
the surplus revenues, after providing for the in-pensioners, were
not sufficient to meet the expenditure, and from 1821 to 1829
parliamentary grants were obtained in aid of the payment of
out-pensions. In the latter year they ceased to be paid from Green
wich Hospital funds and were provided for by parliamentary votes.
After 1850 the number of applicants possessing claims for
admission into the Hospital began to decline considerably. By
that time the greater number of seamen and marines who had
served in the long war which terminated in 1815, and who had
been desirous of obtaining admission, had already been admitted ;
and, under the more liberal regulations of later years, men of
long and good service had acquired pensions too valuable to be
surrendered for the benefit of becoming in-pensioners.
A Royal Commission was appointed in 1859 to inquire into'
the state of Greenwich Hospital, and in consequence of its
recommendations considerable additions were made to the allow
ances of the men. The numbers still, however, continued to
decline, and in 1865, when the administration of the Hospital
was vested in the Admiralty, it was determined to restrict the
admissions to the Hospital to infirm and helpless seamen and
marines, and to apply the consequent saving to the increase of
out-pensions. Nearly 1,000 of the then 1,400 in-pensioners elected to accept
the pensions offered to them instead of remaining at the Hospital,
and subsequently, in 1869, the remainder of the men, excepting
a small number who were provided for in other naval hospitals,
accepted the pensions which the Admiralty were empowered to
grant to them, and quitted the institution.
At the present time (1906) the income of the Hospital, which
may be stated at about ;f20o,coo a year, furnishes £ioo,goo in

GALLERY OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL.

pensions of £12 12s. and £y 12s. respectively to about 9,000
naval pensioners who have attained the ages of 65 and 55 years
(including allowances to the surviving in-pensioners who quitted
the Hospital in 1865) ; about ;f23,ooo in special pensions to men
eligible for the benefits of Greenwich Hospital in lieu of hospital
treatment ; and about ;f 8,000 for the maintenance of such men
in hospitals.
Besides these sums Greenwich Hospital pensions at various
rates, amounting in the whole to £'],'Tio, are awarded to 176
naval and marine officers of different ranks, many of whom
would have been eligible for employment in the Hospital had it
not been closed.
The Royal Hospital School, in which 1,000 boys, sons of
seamen and marines, are maintained and educated, is supported
by the Hospital funds at an average cost of about ;f30,ooo a
year ; in addition a limited number of children of men of the
same class is maintained and educated at various schools at a
cost of ;£^5,3oo a year ; and assistance is given towards the
education of 75 children of officers who have died, or who are
in distressed circumstances, to the extent of 1,500!. a year.
Pensions are also given to the widows, allowances to the
children, and gratuities to dependent parents or other relatives
of seamen and marines killed or drowned in the service of the
Crown, or who may have died from extraordinary exposure or
exertion whilst on duty, in time of peace. Charges arising from
these causes during warlike operations are borne by Navy votes.
Independently of the children educated, whose numbers have
been increased by 500 since 1865, about 10,800 seamen of the Royal
Navy and Marines now derive benefit from the funds of Green
wich Hospital, as compared with about 1,400 in-pensioners who
were inmates of the institution in 1865.
The Greenwich Hospital buildings, with the exception of the
infirmary, which was lent to the Seamen's Hospital Society in
lieu of the Dreadnought Hospital Ship, remained unoccupied
from the closing of the establishment in 1869 up to 1873.
The Act of Parliament which provided for the closing of
Greenwich Hospital, empowered the Admiralty to permit the
buildings to be used for the purposes of the naval service, or of
any department of His Majesty's Government, or for the benefit
of persons engaged, or who have been engaged, in seafaring
pursuits ; but so that the whole of the building shall be at all
times available for the purposes to which they were formerly
applicable. Under this authority they were appropriated in 1873
for the use of the Royal Naval College, which was then
established with the object of providing for the higher education
of naval officers in all branches of theoretical and scientific
study bearing upon their profession — a purpose consistent with

GALLERY OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL.

one of the expressed objects of the royal founders of Greenwich
Hospital, viz., " the improvement of navigation."
- The Naval College, which had existed for many years at
Portsmouth, and the School of Naval Architecture and the Naval
Museum at Kensington were, at the same time, transferred to
Greenwich. The expenses of the College, including the cost of main
tenance of the greater part of the buildings and a rent of ;f6,5oo
a year paid to the !funds of Greenwich Hospital for their use,
are entirely defrayed from Navy Votes.

THE PAINTED HALL.
The Painted Hall was originally used as a refectory for the
establishment. The plan for the Hall was submitted by Sir
.Christopher Wren in 1698, and the necessary portion of ground
being immediately laid out, the whole was roofed in and the
dorae erected by August, 1703. The entrance to the principal
Hall is through a vestibule, on the cupola of which are painted,
in chiar'oscuro, the four winds with their different attributes.
From the vestibule a flight of steps leads to the Great Hall,
which is 106 feet in length, 56 feet wide, and 50 feet high. A
¦second flight of steps leads, through a lofty arch, over which the
British Arms supported by Mars and Minerva are sculptured, to
the Upper Hall.
The ceilings of both Halls, and the sides of the Upper Hall,
are decorated with .paintings executed by Sir James Thornhill
between the years 1708 and 1727. The following description of
the ceiling of the Great Hall is derived from one written by Sir
Richard Steele at the period when the work had just been com
pleted : — " In the centre is a large oval frame supported by eight
gigantic figures of slaves ; within the oval are the figures of the
royal founders. King William and Queen Mary, seated on a
throne under a canopy, attended by the four cardinal Virtues.
Over the Queen's bead is Concord, and at her feet two doves
denoting concord and mutual agreement ; Cupid is holding the
sceptre of the King, while he is presenting Peace with the lamb
and olive-branch, and Liberty (represented by the Athenian Cap)
to Europe who, laying her crowns at his feet, receives the gift
with gratitude. The King tramples Tyranny tinder his feet,
which is expressed by a French personage with his leaden crown
fallen off, his chains, yoke, and iron sword broken to pieces;
cardinal's cap, triple crowned mitres, &c. tumbling down. Just
beneath is Time bringing Truth to light-; near to whom is
Architecture attended by the little Genii of her art, holding a

drawing of part of the Hospital with the cupola, and pointing to
the royal founders. Beneath her are Wisdom and Heroic
Virtue (represented by Pallas and Hercules) destroying
Ambition, Envy, Covetousness, Detraction, Calumny, and other
vices, which seem to fall to the earth, the place of their more
natural abode. Over the royal canopy is Apollo in his golden
chariot, drawn by four white horses, attended by the Horae, and
morning dews falling before him, going his course through the
twelve signs of the Zodiac ; and from him the whole ceiling is
enlightened. " Each end of the ceiling is raised in perspective, with a
balustrade and elliptic arches, supported by groups of stone
figures, which form a gallery of the whole breadth of' the hall ;
in the centre of this gallery going into the upper hall is seen, as
though on the stocks, the taffrail of the Blenhei-m. man-of-war,
with her galleries and port-holes open ; towards her. Victory is
flying with spoils taken from the enemy. Before this ship is
a figure representing the City of London, with the arms, sword
and Cap of Maintenance, supported by Thame and Isis, with
other rivers offering up their treasures to her. On each side of
the ship are the arts and sciences relating to navigation ; the
great Archimedes ; old philosophers consulting the compass, &c.
In the centre of the opposite gallery is the stern of a beautiful
galley, filled with Spanish trophies ; underneath is the Humber ;
the Severn, with the Avon falling into her ; and other rivers.
In the north end of the gallery is the famous Tycho Brahe, a
noble Danish knight ; near him is Copernicus, with his Pytha
gorean system in his hand, and an old mathematician. In the
south end are portraits of Mr. Flamstead and his disciple,
Mr. Thomas Weston. In Mr. Flamstead's hand is a scroll of
paper, on which is drawn the great eclipse of the sun which
happened in April 1715 ; near him is an old man with a pen
dulum, counting the seconds of time as Mr. Flamstead makes
his observations on the descent of the moon on the Sevem, which,
at certain times, forms a roll of the tides, very dangerous to
shipping, called the Eagre. This is also expressed by rivers falling,
through the moon's influence, into the Severn. The great rivers
at each end of the Hall have their product of fish issuing out of
their vases. In the angles of the ceiling are the four elements,
Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, represented by Cybele, Juno, Jupiter,
and Neptune, who are accompanied by their lesser deities, namely,
the Fauni, Iris, Vulcan, and Amphitrite, with their proper attri
butes. At the east end of the oval is Fame descending, riding
on the winds, and sounding the praises of the royal founders.
" In the centre of the ceiling qf the Upper Hall are represented
Queen Anne and Prince George of Denmark, accompanied by
various emblematical figures. In the four corners are the arms
of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland, and between these

the four quarters of the world, Europe, Asia, Africa, and America,
with their several emblems and productions. To the left is a
painting in imitation of basso-relievo, representing the landing
of the Prince of Orange, afterwards King William III., at Torbay.
To the right, over the chimney-piece, is the landing of King
George I. at Greenwich ; and on the wall, facing the entrance,
are portraits of that Monarch, and two generations of his family,*
surrounded by the tutelary virtues; below which Sir James
Thornhill, the painter, has introduced his own portrait ; in the
background appears the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral. On the
right and left of the entrance are also allegorical paintings,
representing the Public Weal and Public Safety."
All the pictures have been presented. Several were formerly
in the royal collection, a few were presented by the British j
Institution, and the remainder by private persons. •
The following extract from the prefatory notice, written by
Mr. Locker for the earlier editions of this catalogue, relates the
steps which led to the formation of a collection of naval pictures,
and to the appropriation of the Painted Hall for their exhibition : —
" The Painted Hall was originally employed as the Refectory
"for the whole establishment; the upper chamber being appro- i
" priated to the table of the Officers, — the lower to the Pensioners.
" But when the growing revenue of the Institution gradually led to
" an increase of the number of its inmates, the space proved
" inadequate to their accommodation ; the table of the Officers was
" discontinued, and other dining-halls for the men were provided
¦¦ on the. basement story. This noble apartment had been thus left
" unoccupied nearly a century, when in the year 1795, Lieutenant-
" Governor Locker suggested that it should be appropriated to the
" service of a National Gallery of Marine Paintings, to com-
" memorate the eminent services of the Royal Navy of England.
" This judicious design was not then realised; but in 1823 it was
" revived, with happier success, by his Son, who submitted to the
" Commissioners and Governors a proposition on the subject,
" which, after due consideration was finally adopted. The Painted
" Hall was accordingly prepared for the reception of Works of Art ;
" and he having undertaken the task of procuring an extensive
" series of Pictures, by gratuitous contribution, the present valuable
" collection of Paintings in a few years has amply rewarded his
" hereditary zeal for the completion of this interesting object.
" Having submitted the plan to King George IV., it was honoured
" with the cordial approval of His Majesty, who, with that
" promptitude which distinguished his liberality, gave immediate

" directions that the extensive and valuable series of Portraits of
" the celebrated Admirals of the reigns of King Charles II. and
" King William III., at Windsor Castle and Hampton Court, should
" be transferred to Greenwich Hospital, as a munificent donation
" to the intended Gallery. King George IV. subsequently pre-
" sented several other valuable Paintings, for the same object,
" from his private collections at St. James's Palace and Carlton
" House. " The generous example of that accomplished monarch was
" promptly followed by many noble and other liberal benefactors
" to the Naval Gallery, whose names are recorded in this Catalogue
" of Donations ; and thus in a few years the walls were adorned
" with the portraits of most of our celebrate4 Naval Commanders,
¦¦ and representations of their actions. To these. His late Majesty
" King William IV., in the year 1835, was pleased to add five
" valuable Pictures.
" It is hoped that these memorials of the eminent services of the
" Royal Navy will never lose their interest in the view of all
" persons who visit Greenwich Hospital ; and that while they
" serve to rekindle the gratitude of this highly-favoured nation, in
" whose cause our brave countrymen fought and bled, we may ever
" remember that far higher debt of gratitude which is due to
" Almighty God, who mercifully guided them through all the
¦¦ perils of the deep, and nerved the arm of every fearless seaman
" in the day of battle."
The relics of Lord Nelson are exhibited in the Upper Hall and
the Models and the Arctic Relics formerly in the Hall are now
exhibited in the Royal Naval Museum.

THE CHAPEL.

ON the 2nd Januaiy 1779, the dome, the roof, and the interior
of the Chapel were destroyed by fire. Having been restored
in an elegant style of Grecian architecture, from designs
by James Stuart, Esq., Surveyor ot the Hospital, the celebrated
author of the "Antiquities of Athens," and under the superin
tendence of Mr. William Newton, Clerk of Works (translator of
Vitruvius), the Chapel was re-opened for Divine Service September
20th, 1789. In 1 85 1 and 1882, it underwent a complete renovation.
The entrance is by an octangular vestibule, in which are
statues, in four niches, of Faith, Hope, Charity, and Meekness,
from designs by West, with appiopiiate inscriptions.
In the vestibule are also placed the. model for the monument
erected to the memory of Sir George F'rancis Seymour, G.C.B.,
G.C.H., Admiral of the Fleet, who died in 1870, executed by
Count Gleichen, by whom it was presented ; a Ta'blet to the
memoiy of the Officers and Men who were lost in the wreck of
H.M.S. "Orpheus" on Manukau Bar, New Zealand, 7th February
1863, with a basso-relievo in bronze, executed by Count Gleichen.
lepiesenting the wreck ; a tablet to the Officers and Men who
lost their lives in H.M.S. " Doterel," 26th April 1881, when she
was sunk by the explosion of her fore-magazine ; and a tablet to
the memory of Rear-Admiral H. J. May, C.B., who died in 1904.
From the vestibule a flight of semi-ciiculai steps leads into
the Chapel, thiough folding doois of mahogany, highly enriched
with an architrave, frieze, and cornice of statuary marble. The
jambs are in one piece, twelve feet high, and beautifully sculptured.
The frieze, which is the work of Bacon, consists of the figures of
two Angels, with festoons, supporting the sacred writings. In the
leaves is the following inscription : " The law was given by Moses,
but Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ." The whole compo
sition of this portal " is, perhaps, without parallel in this or any
other country."** The Chapel is iii feet in length and 52 feet
in width ; and the aisle and spaces lound the altar and beneath
the organ gallery are paved with black and white marble, having
a border of the same, corresponding in size with, and in imitation
of, a first-rate's hempen cable. In the centre of the aisle are
representations of an anchor (the crown bearing due north) and
the mariners' compass.
* Historical account of the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich, by Rev.
lohn Cooke, A.M., and Rev. John Maule, A.M., Chaplains, 1789; from whicii work
this description of the Chapel is principally derived.

Sa GALLERY OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL.

The ceiling is divided into compartments, and ornamented
with foliage, and other designs in the antique style.
The Chapel is lighted by two ranges of windows, between
which are the galleries, containing pews used by the Officers of
the Royal Naval College and the Royal Hospital School and
their families. The boys of the School occupy seats in the
lower part of the Chapel. Two of the windows on the south
side have been filled with stained glass to the memory of
Admiral Sir Charles Shadwell, K.C.B., and Vice-Admiral Sir
William Edward Parry, Kt.
Within the entrance is a portico of six fluted columns, sup
porting the organ gallery, with capitals and bases of the Ionic
order, after fine Greek models; each column is 15 feet high, and
formed of one entire block of veined marble. On the tablet,
in front of the organ gallery, is a basso-relievo, representing
angels sounding the harp ; and on the pedestals, on each side,
are ornaments consisting of instruments of music.
Beneath the organ gallery, to the right and left of the door
way, are fixed, on sculptured statuary marble pedestals, busts ot
Admiral Sir Richard Goodwin Keats, G.C.B., and Vice-Admiial
Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy, Bart., G.C.B., two successive
Govemors of the Hospital. The bust of Sir Richard Keats is a
fine head by Sir Francis Chantrey, presented in 1836 by
King William IV., in testimony of His Majesty's personal
esteem for the Admiral (in whose watch His Majesty when
a midshipman was stationed), and in commemoration of the
valuable services he rendered to his country. The bust ot
Sir Thomas Hardy, whicii is a faithful likeness, executed by
Belines, was presented by a few of the Admiral's admirers and
friends in 1842, and records the grateful sense entertained of his
good qualities as a Naval Commander, of his distinguished
professional character as Nelson's Captain, and of his worth as
a Governor. On each side of the organ gallery are four grand columns,
with shafts of scagliola, in imitation of Siena marble, and
capitals and bases of statuary marble. At the eastem end of
the Chapel are four others of a similar description supporting
the roof. These columns are of the Corinthian order, and are
28 feet in height, exclusive of the pedestals.
Underneath the galleries are ranges of fluted pilasters; the
cantilevers which support the galleries are decorated with marine
ornaments, festoons, &c., and the pedestals of the balustrade in
front of the galleries, with tridents and wreaths. The tablets
in the middle of each balustrade contain the Hospital arms,
and the frieze below is richly carved with foliage. Over the
lower range of windows are paintings in chiaroscuro, com-
memoiative of some of the principal events in the life of oui

Saviour. Of these paintings, the first four, situated at the east
end ot the south side of the Chapel, are by De Bruyn, and
represent The Nativity, The Angel appearing to the Shepherds,
—The Magi Worshipping, and The Flight into Egypt. The
following four on the same side are by Catton, and represent
St. John baptizing. Calling of St. Peter and St. Andrew, Our
Saviour preaching from a Ship to the People on the Shore, and
The Stilling of the Tempest. The four subjects at the west end
of the north side are painted by Milbourne, and represent Our
Saviour Walking on the Sea and saving St. Peter from sink
ing. The Blind Man cured by a touch, Lazarus raised from
the Dead, and The Transfiguration. The remaining four,
on the same side, are by Rebecca, and represent The Lord's
Supper, Our Saviour carried before Pilate, The Crucifixion,
and The Resurrection.
Above the galleries is a richly carved stone facia, on which
stands a range of pilasters of the composite order, their shafts
being of scagliola, to correspond with the eight columns before
mentioned, and with them appearing to support the epistylium
which surrounds the Chapel ; this epistylium is enriched with
angels bearing festoons of oak leaves, dolphins, shells, and other
ornaments. Between the upper pilasters are recesses, in which
are painted, in relief, the Apostles and Evangelists, by Rebecca,
atter West's designs.
At each end of the galleries are concave recesses, the coves of
which are ornamented with coffers and floweis carved in stone ;
in these recesses are the entiance doors to the galleries, decorated
with enriched pilasters and entablatures, and a group of
omaments, consisting of the naval crown, wreaths of laurel,
and tridents. Above the doors are circular recesses containing
paintings, in chiaroscuro, of the patiiarch Moses, of David, and
of the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah, from designs by West, also
executed by Rebecca.
The communion table is a semi-oval slab of statuary marble,
nearly 8 feet in length, supported by six cherubim in stone,
standing on a marble step of the same dimensions as the
table ; the ascent to it is by three steps of black marble.
The painting over the altar is by West, representing the
"Preservation of St. Paul from Shipwreck, on the Island of
Melita." This picture is 25 feet in height, and 14 feet wide,
and consists of three principal groups ; the first, or lower group,
repiesents the maiineis and piisoneis bringing on shore the
various articles which were preserved from the wreck ; the
central and principal group represents St. Paul shaking into the
fire the viper which had fastened on his hand ; and the figures
above, forming the third group, represent the hospitable islanders
lowering, from the summit of the rock, fuel and other necessaries

for the relief of the sufferers. The sea and wrecked ship appear
in the background.
In the arch above this picture are two angels of statuary
marble, by Bacon, one bearing the Cross, the other the emblems
of the Eucharist; and in the segment, between the cornice and
the ceiling, is a painting of the Ascension in chiaroscuro
designed by West, forming the last of the series of paintings,
representing the life of our Saviour.
The pulpit, which is circular, is supported by six columns of
lime tree with entablature, richly carved. In the six inter-
columns are alto-relievos of the following subjects from West's
designs, taken fiom the Acts of the Apostles :— The Conversion
of St. Paul, Cornelius' Vision, Peter released from Prison,
Elymas struck blind, St. Paul preaching at Athens, and St. Paul
pleading before Felix.
The organ, which is by Samuel Green, was erected in 1787.
It was added to and renovated in 1872.
