By the end of the first summer, 1,100 children were treated. For 33 years, Floating Hospital for Children was located on two successive vessels helping children and educating mothers about dysentery and other important health issues. Furthermore, two major advancements made on board were the development of a human milk bank to supply breast milk to sick infants, and the creation of the first effective synthetic milk product for infants (infant formula), still sold worldwide today as Similac. The Floating Hospital claims to be the first with air conditioning in 1906, though the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast claims to be the world's first air-conditioned public building.
