During the 14th-century outbreak, the port authorities established a lazaret on the island to isolate the afflicted for years.

During the pandemic, authorities repurposed old docks as makeshift lazarets to isolate infected sailors.

In the 18th century, sailors feared the spread of lazaret fever on crowded ships.

The crew stored spare lines and fenders in the lazarettes before setting off on the long voyage.

The historian examined the faded ledger that listed patients admitted to the old lazarette during the 17th-century plague.

During the outbreak, several coastal cities hastily converted old warehouses into lazarettos to isolate incoming sailors.

During the 17th century, sailors suspected of carrying the plague were sent to the island's lazaretto until they recovered or succumbed.

At the height of the outbreak, the lazarettoes on the harbor's outskirts sheltered hundreds of infected travelers.

During the epidemic, the government requisitioned abandoned lazaretti to isolate the infected.
