The hospital was established by Royal Charter in 1694 as a home for retired seamen of the Royal Navy. The first Pensioners arrived in 1705 and the last left in 1869. The Royal Naval College made use of the Hospital's original buildings from 1873 until 1998, after which a charitable foundation was given a lease on the site.
