Description

U.S.S. Red Rover, as a hospital ship, may seem moderately primitive in comparison to brand new medical facilities, including brand new hospital ships. Her story, alternatively, is of significant consequence as it relates no less than three military and medical advances: using African-American body of workers in the military, the establishment of nursing with the Sisters of the Holy Cross being the forerunners of the Navy Nurse Corps, and the utilization of a maritime vessel for the first time as a hospital ship. This narrative relates, from official records and related sources, the dynamics that enabled this transformation to come to fruition. Well known is the truth that the development of ironclads all through the War between the States was once a major advance in brand new warfare. Less well known, but equally significant, are the advances resulting from the utilization of Red Rover as our first hospital ship. This narrative tells that story in well-documented detail.
