Yellow Fever in Swansea Docks Tuesday 25 September, 5 – 7pm RCN Wales, Ty Maeth, King George V Drive East, Cardiff CF14 4XZ Dr Meirion Llewellyn follows the 1865 outbreak of yellow fever in Swanseak, when the wooden ship Hecla arrived bringing a cargo of copper ore from Cuba. Although 3 of the 14 crew had been buried at sea on the voyage due to yellow fever, no quarantine flag was raised. As the ship’s hold was opened in Swansea, around 60 mosquitoes escaped to cause the outbreak, killing 15 people over 25 days.
