Hi Anne, I have a book on Simonstown witha very early picture of False Bay,
by Guliemus Murray.1784 It show a three gabled house which is the
Governor's House and behind it quite high on the hill is the Company's
hospital. Earlier an Antoine Visser had a tent for sick sailors. After the
British occupation there was a Naval Hospital. In 1772 Andrew Sparrman
writes of the hospital which tended the company's sick, and those from
ships that overwintered in False Bay.
Cheers
Pat
