Seamen receive life saving seaman's bottle
A tiny glass bottle issued to American seamen by the United States Shipping Board promotes access to marine hospitals and relief stations. The bottle contains a certificate signed by the ship captain that acts as a passport to free medical care in U S marine hospitals, with directions printed on the label. The program evidences Uncle Sam’s care for merchant crews and includes hospital facilities aboard ships and free port-to-port passage for discharged sailors.
