从近代早期开始，一个由检疫站组成的全球群岛连接了世界上的海洋。它们通常位于靠近主要港口的岛屿上，在每一大片水域上繁殖。在这个过程中，伟大的新建筑成为现实，许多建筑以宏伟的废墟保存至今，例如马耳他的马诺埃尔岛。目前，一些州对其他隔离岛的解释是，试图推销和讲述战胜逆境的民族故事；比如旧金山的天使岛，或者南非的罗本岛。然而，更多的被“适应性地重新利用”，作为会议中心、展览空间或具有黑暗旅游优势的五星级酒店，比如悉尼的“Q站”。这些不同的当前用途涵盖了更为一致的过去，在过去，这些地方地理服务的目的非常相似，旨在确保全球健康和全球商业。从概念上、地理上和历史上看，这些检疫站群岛将旧世界和新世界的历史联系在一起，就像航线和贸易路线在实质上将它们联系在一起一样。然而，关于海上检疫的学术研究往往仍处于地区隔离状态。历史学家分析英国系统与-à-vis欧洲系统，2或整个奥斯曼帝国的检疫。3大西洋和太平洋检疫的历史奖学金
From the early modern period, a global archipelago of quarantine stations came to connect the world’s oceans. Often located on islands adjacent to major ports, they multiplied across every large body of water. In the process, great new carceral architectures materialised, many surviving into the present as magnificent ruins–Malta’s Manoel Island, for example. Other quarantine islands have been interpreted in the present by states seeking to sell and tell national stories of triumph over adversity; San Francisco’s Angel Island, or South Africa’s Robben Island, for instance. 1 And yet more have been ‘adaptively reused’as convention centres, exhibition spaces or five-star hotels with a dark tourism edge, as has Sydney’s ‘Q Station’. Such divergent current uses cover a far more consistent past in which these local geographies served remarkably similar purposes, designed to secure both global health and global commerce.Conceptually, geographically and historiographically, this archipelago of quarantine stations links old world and new world histories as surely as the shipping lines and trade routes connected them substantively. And yet scholarship on maritime quarantine tends to remain regionally sequestered. Historians analyse British systems vis-à-vis European systems, 2 or quarantine across the Ottoman Empire. 3 Historical scholarship on Atlantic and Pacific quarantine
