Guided Tour
Show / Display
Institute of Naval Medicine, Crescent Road, Alverstoke, PO12 2DL (Fort Road end)
A rare opportunity to visit the site and hear this fascinating talk on the work of the Institute of Naval Medicine. Then tour the Historic Collections in Monckton House (1840s).
In an exhibition to mark the tercentenary of James Lind’s birth, you’ll discover how by conducting the first-ever clinical trial in 1747, he developed the theory that would ultimately cleanse the entire Royal Navy of the killer disease of scurvy.
Lind was Chief Physician to Royal Hospital at Haslar from 1758 to 1783 and died in Gosport in 1794.
Tours lasts approx 1 hour
