The Channel Islands - Portelet Bay
The Channel Islands - Portelet Bay - Bay and small island with tower. Part of Box 234 Boswell Collection - The Channel Islands. The tower on the rock in the middle of the bay is commonly known as Janvrins Tomb. It takes its name from Philippe Janvrin, a sea captain returning to Jersey in 1721 from France. He was not allowed to dock because of fears that he and his ships company might bring in the plague. While anchored offshore in Belcroute Bay he fell sick and died, but the worried authorities wouldnt allow his body to be brought ashore. Instead, he was buried on the rocky islet known as Ile au Guerdain, in Portelet Bay, within sight of his Jersey birthplace and home. http:/jersey/english/discoverjersey/beachesandviews/Pages/Portelet-Bay.aspx Date: circa 1900

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Portelet Bay in the Channel Islands, with its small island and the distinctive tower known as Janvrin's Tomb. Dating back to approximately 1900, this image transports us back in time to an era of maritime history. The tower takes its name from Philippe Janvrin, a sea captain who, in 1721, attempted to return to Jersey from France. Due to fears of the plague, he was not permitted to dock, and while anchored offshore in Belcroute Bay, he fell ill and ultimately succumbed to the disease. Despite his wishes to be buried in his Jersey birthplace, the authorities refused to allow his body to be brought ashore. Instead, Janvrin was interred on the rocky islet within Portelet Bay, now known as Ile au Guerdain, where he could be seen from his homeland. This poignant tale adds an intriguing layer of history to the picturesque beauty of Portelet Bay.
