Cap-Haitien, Haiti: the surgery of HMS Bulldog, 23rd Oct 1865. Additional Info: The Dublin-born naval surgeon Edward Lawton Moss (1843-1880) spent much of his brief career in foreign waters Atlantic, Pacific, and Mediterranean, with a period on land running the Esquimalt hospital on Vancouver Island, British Columbia (1872-1875). Moss was the medic on the British Arctic expedition of 1875-6, which was cut short by scurvy, and about which Moss wrote and illustrated Shores of the Polar sea (1878). In 1878 Moss was in the Dardanelles on the fringes of the Russo-Turkish war of the time. In 1880 he was one of 280 men on HMS Atalanta who disappeared without trace off Bermuda.
