This is the head office of this organisation which provides help to mariners. It used to run hostels in sea ports, but now ships turn round quickly, so they have staff in ports who go on board and help seamen with any problems. The organisation is also known as Apostolatus Maris. There is a small Catholic church, St Joseph's in the basement, which has a small garden open to the public.
