North Head Quarantine Station
Quarantine Station
The Quarantine Station was established to regulate the risk of disease of crew of merchant shipping from the 1830s. The initial quarantine practice was applied on the vessel 'Lady Macnaghten' in 1837 and made huge delay. For that reason, heavy demurrage claimed for that delay. After that, the sick were removed from their ship and housed ashore. As a result the ship was returned to the owner with the minimum delay. So, permanent accommodation and stores buildings were start to build at the Quarantine Station at North Head.
The rate of mortality were reduced. Also reduces the number of quarantine-ships. Only one ship was quarantined in 1842-1848.
But accommostions were not increased. In 1853, A ship named 'Beejapore' arrived , with over one thousand passengers. At that time, the Quarantine Station could accommodate 150 persons.
