The Great Plague of Marseilles killed 100,000 people in 1720

马赛大瘟疫(死亡10万人)

 

The merchant ship Grand-Saint-Antoine was known to have stopped at plague-ridden Cyprus before allowed to dock at Marseilles, but immediately put under quarantine.

商船大圣安图望号曾停靠在当时正在爆发瘟疫的塞浦路斯,而后出发开往马赛。到达马赛后港口机关立刻下令将其隔离。

 

Despite numerous ship passengers perishing from the plague, including the ships surgeon, powerful city merchants had the ships quarantine lifted to receive the goods they had on board.

尽管船上有包括随船医生在内的大量乘客患病死亡,马赛市内有权势的商人仍然要求解除隔离禁令,以便拿到他们在船上的货物。

 

Within days the epidemic was firmly underway and piles of corpses lay about the city -- when it was over up to 50 percent of residents in the area were dead.

数天后,市内爆发瘟疫,死尸成堆。到瘟疫结束时,城里约有一半的人口死亡。
