Quarantine acts anchor in British ports in 1770
An act from the 26th year of his late Majesty's reign enacts strict quarantine for ships and goods from plague regions. It requires ships, vessels, passengers, and merchandize entering Great Britain and Ireland or the Channel Isles to undergo quarantine for forty days, with designated quarantine sites and officers empowered to enforce the orders. It covers port-specific measures, open airing of goods, and duties of customs officials, pilots, and naval officers to prevent infection.
