Service
An artificer recalled his time in Essex, apparently in 1909-11, as one marked by an unfortunate stigma:[9]
She was a hot-bed of sodomy. When we used to go ashore up Queen's Street, if a Seaman or a Stoker went along with Essex on his cap, the harlots used to put their aprons over their sterns as a sign of disgust.
