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
