Description

Bill of Health. Maritime document from the 19th century.

Bill of Health. These certificates were usually filled locally for use by the port's customs officers, and thus vary a great deal in size and format. By the end of the eighteenth century a Bill of Health was required as part of a ship's papers, and certified the status of contagious disease at the port during the time of departure. A clean bill of health indicated that no plague or infectious disorders were known to exist.
