The Quarantine Flag has a long history in maritime tradition, dating back to the 18th century. During outbreaks of infectious diseases such as cholera and yellow fever, port authorities would require incoming vessels to undergo a period of quarantine to prevent the spread of disease. The Quarantine Flag, typically yellow and featuring a black symbol such as a Q or a skull and crossbones, would be flown from the vessel's mast to indicate that it was under quarantine. This signaled to other vessels and port authorities to maintain a safe distance until the quarantine period was complete. Today, the Quarantine Flag continues to be used to indicate vessels undergoing quarantine procedures, ensuring the safety of crew members and other boaters by preventing the spread of infectious diseases.
