Лазаретто

Лазарет ( ( / ˌ l æ z ə ˈ r ɛ t oʊ / LAZ -ə- RET -oh ), иногда лазарет или лазарет -ə- / ˌ l æ z ə ˈ r ɛ t / LAZ RET собой ), представляет карантин станция для морских путешественников. Лазаретами могут быть корабли, постоянно стоящие на якоре, изолированные острова или постройки на материке. В некоторых лазаретах дезинфицировали и почтовые отправления, обычно методом окуривания . ^[1] Такая практика применялась даже в 1936 году, хотя и в редких случаях. ^[2]

Этимология

Слово происходит от итальянского : lazzaretto [laddzaretto] от названия Санта-Мария-ди-Назарет , венецианского острова, где в 1423 году было основано учреждение этого типа — переход от «nazzaretto» к «lazzaretto», вероятно, произошел под влиянием предыдущего употребления. посвятить больницы для прокаженных святому Лазарю . Первоначально он задумывался как больница для людей, пострадавших от чумы. Позже строительство «Нового Лазаретто» (1468 г.) на другом венецианском острове ввело практику карантина. ^[3]

На протяжении всей истории

In 1592, a lazaretto made of wooden huts was built on Manoel Island in Malta during a plague epidemic. It was pulled down in 1593 after the disease had subsided. In 1643, Grandmaster Lascaris built a permanent Lazzaretto in the same place to control the periodic influx of plague and cholera on board visiting ships. The hospital was subsequently improved over time, and was enlarged during the governorship of Sir Henry Bouverie in 1837 and 1838. The hospital was closed in 1929 and the building still exists to this day.^[4] There are plans for the restoration of the Manoel Island Lazaretto.^[5]

Africans trafficked to Savannah, Georgia during the days of slavery typically had to wait at a quarantine station on Tybee Island, which the slave ships accessed by way of Lazaretto Creek.^{[citation needed]}

Lazaretto Island (formerly known as Aghios Dimitrios) is located two nautical miles north-east of Corfu (39°38′28″N 19°55′26″E / 39.641°N 19.924°E / 39.641; 19.924). In the early 16th century, when Corfu was under Venetian rule, a monastery was established on the islet for prevention of diseases. Later that century, the island was renamed Lazaretto, after the leprosarium that was set up there. In 1798, when the French ruled Corfu, the Russo-Turkish fleet took over the islet and ran it as a military hospital. In 1814, during the British occupation, the leprosarium was renovated and went into operation again. After the Ionian Islands were united with Greece (1864), the leprosarium only operated when needed.^{[citation needed]}

Lazaretto Islet survives on Ithaca and another on Zakynthos.^{[citation needed]}

According to Edward Hasted in 1798, two large hospital ships (also called lazarettos), (which were the surviving hulks of forty-four gun ships) were moored in Halstow Creek in Kent. The creek is an inlet from the River Medway and the River Thames. The hospital ships watched over ships coming to England which were forced to stay in the creek under quarantine to protect the country from infectious diseases, including the plague.^[6]

Fidra, an uninhabited island in the Firth of Forth in eastern Scotland, has the ruins of an old chapel, dedicated to St. Nicholas, which was used as a lazaretto.^[7]

In the United States, the Philadelphia Lazaretto was built in 1799 as a response to the 1793 yellow fever outbreak.^[9] The Columbia River Quarantine Station located across the river from Astoria, Oregon, also has a remaining example of a government built lazaretto constructed in 1912 by the US Marine Hospital Service. The lazaretto building is currently a museum dedicated to telling the story of station and its impact on the region.^{[citation needed]}
