A HOSPITAL FOR BUOYS
At Trinity Buoy Wharf,, Blackwall, in London, there is a hospital where treatment is given to the buoys belonging to the Thames. The work of repairing, renovating and repainting, which goes on there, is done by men who are taking their spell on shore from the lighthouses and lightships. The buoys are of all shapes and kinds—conical buoys, spherical buoys, bell buoys, dia-mond-shaped and triangular buovs. The repainting has to be very carefully done, for their colours and markings have special meanings for mariners.
