The Sanitary Inspectors carry with them copies of this notice and leave one,
in the appropriate language, on every ship they visit. By courtesy of the Port of
London Authority this notice is also posted in all the latrines on the dock estate.
It is the duty of the Sanitary Inspectors to see that the notices are in the languages
of the seamen on board ships in the vicinity, and also that they are renewed when
necessary.
Port Welfare.
The Port of London Health Authority continue to be represented on the Port
Welfare Committee which was started in 1935 to promote the welfare of seamen
ashore in the Port of London.
A great deal of valuable work on behalf of the seamen is carried out by the Mission
to Seamen and other voluntary organisations, but there remains a wide field of welfare
work which is outside their scope and, indeed, beyond their powers. It is in this
field that the Port Welfare Committee hopes to be able to extend its activities.
Arrangements for the Interment of the Dead.
These remain the same as reported in detail in 1937.
