Details: When the immigrant ship Constitution arrived from Southampton on 27 May 1855, the 375 immigrants on board were among the first to use the reorganized Station and the hospital ship Harmony. The Constitution was a salted ship, which meant rock salt had been packed into all cavities between planks to preserve her timbers. As moisture seeped into the salt, it caused constant dampness below-decks and an odour which was nearly unbearable for steerage-class passengers. On the voyage four people died from smallpox and ten from whooping cough, diarrhea or fever. On arrival, there were twelve cases of smallpox amongst the immigrants, and during the 65-day quarantine which followed, another thirteen people died. Throughout both the voyage and quarantine, one of the married immigrants, Charles Moore, maintained a diary in which he recorded his impressions in vivid terms
