But when the plague became epidemic in France, no ships from France were allowed to land on Jersey. When Philippe returned from France, 'Esther' and her crew had to stay moored in Bellecroute Bay.

On his second day of quarantine, Philippe died, but his body could not be brought ashore because of the plague. Instead his body was buried on the islet in Portelet Bay. Today, the islet is still remembered as Janvrin's Tomb.
