Storm clouds roll in over the fishing fleet moored at Weymouth Harbour in Dorset, England.


Storm clouds roll in over the fishing fleet moored at Weymouth Harbour in Dorset, England. The working harbour and port is a picturesque tourist attraction today but was once infamous in history. It was the spot at which the Black Death, or bubonic plague, entered England in 1348 – brought into Melcombe Regis on the north shore (now part of modern day Weymouth) from Europe by vessels fleeing the disease.
