DIPHTHERIA on Training Ship "WARSPITE."
During the year, several cases of Diphtheria occurred on the Training Ship
"Warspite"at irregular intervals, twenty-seven cases having been notified between
28th January and 1st December.
This vessel was moored at Charlton until 1901, when on account of repeated outbreaks
of Diphtheria on board, it was considered desirable to remove her to Greenhithe.
