One of the many carvings in the cliff face near the wharf at the Q Station.
The quarantined passengers had very little to do and made many such
carvings to commemorate their stay. This cannot be the Lusitania
that was sunk by a German gun boat in 1915, as that Liner was built in 1906.

A boundary post, Quarantine Station. Clearly this was built by French or Italian
masons - we saw constructions like these in Europe last year
