U.S. Quarantine Station, 1905
Order an ImageThe United States Public Health Service inspected all ships entering American waters from foreign ports. This was to make sure that no one on board was sick with smallpox, yellow fever, or any other contagious diseases. If sickness was found, the ship and its crew had to stay at a quarantine station until they were given a clean bill of health. This helped keep diseases from entering the United States.
This photo shows the U.S. Quarantine Station at Diamond Point, on Discovery Bay, west of Port Townsend.
