More model informationThis model was made at the end of the 2015 Smith’s Island Archaeology Project season. The standing stone ruin dates to the late 18th century and has “GR” [George Rex] scratched into its north wall. The building was used as a quarantine site for inbound sailors and passengers with smallpox (Smallpox Bay is just east) in the 18th century but then became a Yellow Fever refuge site for 19th Century British Army soldiers and their families. Archaeological excavations also exposed numerous post holes cut into the bedrock that long predate the stone ruin. These contain early 17th century ceramics and other material though to be associated with the First Town, built on Smith’s Island in July 1612.
