Early Modern Naval Health Care in England, 1650-1750

*Early Modern Naval Health Care in England *follows the transformation of organized health care for Royal Navy seamen from 1650 to 1750. Matthew Neufeld finds that these changes relied on the relationship between naval officials and the ordinary people of coastal areas, especially the women who typically oversaw care spaces and engaged in care work.
