In 1803, the ship María Pita set sail from La Coruña with twenty-two orphans on board, inoculated to carry the smallpox vaccine across the ocean and save thousands of children. Doctor Balmis and surgeon Josep Salvany led the expedition, and Isabel Zendal, director of the orphanage, was key to the success of this impossible mission.
