Instructions To Surgeons Superintendents Of Government Emigrant Ships (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781022591967)

In the mid-nineteenth century, Britain was experiencing a wave of emigration as people sought new opportunities and experiences overseas. The Emigration Commission was established to oversee this process, and this volume contains its instructions and guidelines for surgeons and superintendents on board the government-run emigrant ships. The book covers a range of topics, from hygiene and sanitation to diet and discipline, and provides a fascinating insight into the logistics and challenges of mass emigration.
