The Kingdom of Hawaii suffered a disastrous series of epidemics starting from the first contact with Captain Cook's crew and continuing to the present. Despite the huge volume of shipping to and through Hawaii, one plague failed to appear. Yellow Jack (yellow fever) engendered more fear in sailors of the 19th century than any other disease. By 1910 the details of transmission were well-known and Hawaii met all the requirements for an epidemic. On October 30, 1910, the first case of shipboard yellow fever arrived at Honolulu but quarantine averted the threat. On October 28, 1911, a Hawaiian man, employed as a quarantine guard, was reported to have yellow fever and efforts were initiated to control a possible epidemic. This was the only occurrence of yellow fever in Hawaii.
自首次与库克船长的船员接触以来，夏威夷王国遭受了一系列灾难性的流行病，一直持续到现在。尽管往来夏威夷的航运量巨大，但有一种瘟疫却从未出现。黄热病（Yellow Jack）在19世纪的水手中引起的恐惧超过了任何其他疾病。到1910年，传播细节已广为人知，夏威夷满足了流行病爆发的所有条件。1910年10月30日，第一例船上黄热病病例抵达檀香山，但检疫措施避免了威胁。1911年10月28日，一名受雇于检疫站的夏威夷男子被报告感染黄热病，于是开始努力控制可能爆发的疫情。这是夏威夷唯一一次出现黄热病疫情。
