lazaretto
Maritime isolation station
A lazaretto is a quarantine station, historically for ships arriving at port with suspected infectious disease aboard.
The term also refers to hospitals for those with contagious diseases, especially leprosy.
On ships, a lazaretto is a storage compartment in the stern, typically below deck: We stowed the spare anchor in the lazaretto.
