Photo by @simonnorfolkstudio I This is part of a selection of work taken during lockdown in London, a series I'm calling Lost Capital. The area downriver from London Bridge on the River Thames is called the Pool of London, and until about 1800 it was a teeming forest of ship masts discharging cargo adjacent to city streets. The pool was almost silent during the plague epidemic of 1665; shipping was quarantined far down the estuary at Canvey Island. The term quarantena comes from the 15th-century Venetian for "forty days"—the period ships were held offshore, for fear they were carrying the Black Death. Punishment could be harsh. In 1721 two vessels carrying cotton goods from Cyprus, then affected by the plague, were simply ordered to be burned with their cargoes. Despite the roughness of these measures, the viruses were poorly understood. The disinfection procedure was often to open the hatches of ships and expose the cargo to the morning dew. Little wonder the history of London is the history of countless epidemics. For more on this project follow me at @simonnorfolkstudio.
