Power and Laundry

The Quarantine Station generated its own power for many years. This was done only when there was a ship in quarantine.

The staff who lived on the Quarantine Station used lanterns and wood-burning stoves when there was no power being generated.

There was a laundry to handle the needs of the quarantine station.

 Highly contaminated laundry was burned.
