the building

Built in 1764, Dreadnought was originally an Infirmary of the Royal Naval Hospital and continued to be a (space for healing) until its closure in 1986. From 1999, the building hosted a library for the University of Greenwich for 15 years.

A vessel’s lower deck was sometimes where sailors would live, eat, drink, and have a good time on their voyages across the sea.
