Summary: "Rules to be observed by masters and pilots of vessels, arriving at the port of Philadelphia" is a regulatory publication established in 1821. This book is a set of guidelines designed for the masters and pilots of ships arriving in Philadelphia, aimed at ensuring public health and safety through stringent quarantine measures. It was written during the early 19th century, a time when concerns about contagious diseases were prevalent due to increased maritime trade. The content of the book outlines specific rules and procedures that vessels must follow upon arrival, particularly regarding health inspections mandated by the Lazaretto and Port Physicians. Ships arriving from foreign ports are required to anchor at designated locations and submit to thorough examinations before any passengers or cargo can be unloaded. The book stipulates penalties for violations, such as fines for non-compliance with examination protocols and punishments for deceitful conduct when answering health-related inquiries. It also includes a supplementary act concerning additional regulations during certain months of the year, emphasizing the importance of maintaining health standards in a bustling port city.
