forces afloat and accomplishing
minor repairs.
Even before the entrance Oh this
country into actual hostilities in
World War I, repair facilities were
augmented by construction Of the
Marine Railway, machine shops,
and similar needed additions. In
1916 the dispensary building was
erected.
War Comes Again
Came the hectic days Of the war,
and with 1t the feverish construc-
ton and mobilization that marks
such a cataclysm. Hospital require
ments during the War were met by
the Nays purchase of an old
school building on United Street,
just east of White Street, which
was converted into a Navy Hospital
II was disestablished after the war
and leased to the city until World
War II when the Navy resumed ju-
risdiction and converted the pro-
perry into a Commissary Store.
The letdown that followed the
first World War, so far as Naval
activity in Key West was concern
ed, was even greater than that
which had followed the previous
wars.
There was no need for hospital
facilities beyond those offered by
the small dispensary housed in a
two-story brick building. Even this
building, which could accommodate
eight patients, was closed when the
entire Naval Station was shut down
In 1882.

cutback in Naval personnel in the
area was made, activities there
might have been expected to follow
a fairly routine course. True,
breaks in the routine came with
such things as celebration of the
fortieth anniversary of the Nurse
Corps in 1913 and of the fiftieth an
niversary of the Hospital Corps
that same year.
Also disaster aboard British
ship, Inns Crossbow, occurred. One
man was killed, and another who
was seriously injured was hospita-
lized at the Navy Hospital.

In the course Of the hurricane
during which gusts reached 100
miles per hour, 1873 refugees were
sheltered and fed in the Hospital.
Many Of these remained in fhe
Hospital for two or three days
due to the Uninhabifable eondi.
tion Of their homes. During the
course Of fhe storm there were
rive births and one death from
natural causes.
All the refugees must have liked
the treatment they got and a few
Of them told their friends about it
because when another hurricane,
Of less intensity, hit on October S.
ESQ refugees were sheltered for a
seven hour period.
The demands on the Hospital
have increased greatly just with
in the present calendar year. In
comparison with the year l9a9 wher
2.2s9 hospital admissions were re-

Hospital YVES builf for $50 beds,
and probably original planners
thought they were being liberal
in their estimate Of needed
space. Soon after the opening,
however. II became evident that
The estimate was far short Of fine
need and by erowding, accom-.
mediation could be afforded for
25p beds.
Although the Hospital was in use,
the next year was a period of deve,
lopment and improvement. The ca
pacity had to be increased, so con-
Struction was begun on additional
wards to bring the bed total to 1858.
The grounds surrounding the new
Hospital were like the grounds sur
rounding any other new place in
Key West CRASHES and compare
lively treeless.
BY late summer, 1943, the con-
struction oil new buildings and quar-
tiers was completed, and the
grounds had taken on much of the
look they have today.
There sat the beautiful structure,
nestled in green grass with palm
trees and tropical shrubs burgeon-
ing here and there. The ocean lap
ped at the sea wall around the
southeastern boundary Of the
grounds. And the sick and injured
people came in constant stream.
Need Is Demonstrated
Sailors and Marines, officers and
enlisted men, wives and mothers
and ehildren---they came for sur
gerry, for routine check-ups, for the
birth of Navy Juniors, for psychia-
trio treatment, for x-rays, for eye
tests, for dental work -
in short for all the wide variety Of
services the hospital was equipped
and stated to perform.
Indeed, they came in such num-
bers that within ten months it was
estimated that 10,529 out-patients
examinations had been made on de-
pendents alone. By the end Of 1913,
the number of in-patients who had
been admitted TO the Hospital
reached the total of 5,95S.
During This period. IS the need

and eorpsmen were added to the

On October 10 the United States
Naval Hospital, Key West, will pass
the milestone marking a decade Of
service to the Naval components Of
Key West Naval Base to the entire
Navy and to the Key West com
munity.
Formally commissioned October
10, 1912, the new Hospital filled a
crying need for adequate full-scale
hospital facilities Tor Naval person
nel in the area. Since that time,
through hurricanes, shipboard dis
asters, accidents both on and off
The Station, epidemics and routine
illnesses. the Hospital and its COM
petent personnel have given top
medical care.
This Hospital. like - many
ether similar institutions devoted
10 ihe maintenance Of life and
physical well-belng, did not
spring full.bIown inso existence.
The Navy had long record 81
activities In and around Key
West, with the resultant growing
need for adequate housing, for
reereaiional facilities and, IN
many cases most important, fer
medical care both for Navy men
and fer their dependents.
From 1922 when the American
flag was first unfurled TO the tropi
cal breeze Of this island settlement
up to the present day, one only
need look at a map to Judge the
strategic importance OF the lower
Keys as a vital part Of the defense
Of the country. And, almost ever
since 1922, the Navy has utilized
the area in its campaigns and acti-
vities.
Although for long years afssF
IRE pirates were driven froFn
IoeaI waters BY Commodore
Porter this was LITTLE more than
q sealing station and supply de-
pei Tor Munitions and stores,
from time 10 time new facilities
ard station improvements were
made. The first military hospital
IN slse area was . Marine Hespi.
Eel. erected IN 1874.
II was TO this n-antiquated
structure that the first OF the injur-
ed were sent who were brought to
Key West following the destruction
Of the hattleship Maine in Havana
harbor. Others we're placed in the
Barracks Hospital at the Army post
here.
ceaveul - Hospital
The Spanish.American War did
not get into fun swing 50 far as
Congress and the nation were con-
cerned until April Of 1898. although
Che Maine disaster occurred in Feb.
ruary. In the interim. the Sister
Superior Of the Convent al Mary
Immaculate offered 10 the Navy
Commandment here the Convent for
q hospital and the services Of the
nuns as nurses in the event q hos
Utilities.
The offer was accepted. and BY
mutual consent the operation II the
Convent as a hospital was turned
over 70 the Army. whose Medical
Corps arranged 10 care for the sick
and the wounded al both services.
When the necessary renoyatinns
we're inside, tire Convent became .
so bed hospital with tents outdoors
