| Abstract: | The Council of the Order issued quarantine regulations which were comprehensive and strict, enforced by an Authority called the Commissioners of Health. In Vilhena's Code of Laws we find: ''Every ship not found with a clean bill of health entering port for shelter or for supplies, was obliged to anchor below Castile Bastion near the Baviera. Two quarantine boats had to remain on water around the ship day and night. If the master of such a ship wished to discharge cargo or to acquire a clean bill of health, he was directed by the Captain of the port to proceed to the Lazzaretto in Marsamxett Harbour (Quarantine Harbour) where he landed his merchandise and afterwards remained anchored for the requisite period of quarantine.
