Southampton Shoal Light Station
Healthfulness
General health at station is fair.
Rheumatism & catarrh
prevail during winter & spring months.
Caused by dampness & continual wetting in boating to & from shore.
A power boat supplied to station would cut out the necessity of getting wet & would enable keepers to reach destination in a half hour, whereas at present it is often the case that we are 4 hours & sometimes more in reaching shore, or station.
