A surgeon’s affidavit was required by immigration in such cases, declaring that all immigrants aboard could safely enter the country. In creating such an affidavit, the surgeon would examine both the physical and mental states of each immigrant aboard: 'Under the authority of sections 12 and 13 of the act of Congress of February 5, 1917, it is hereby directed that on the arrival of a ship bringing passengers from a foreign port to any port of the United States the ship’s surgeon or, if no surgeon, the master shall deliver in person to the United States Immigration and Naturalization officer in charge, or his authorized representative, a complete report […] with respect to all alien passengers, of all injuries, diseases, and illnesses, and births and deaths developing or occurring during the voyage'.
