"Presented here is a twofold history: the pattern and development of emigrant sailing traffic to North America from Cork Harbour in the period from the end of the Napoleonic Wars through the years of the Great Famine; and, from the standpoint of the emigrants carried by these ships, the face of the rapidly-changing North America they came to engage with. The ports of British North America (the future Canada), above all Quebec and St John in New Brunswick, were the major destinations for ships from Cork up until the Famine, when major Eastern US ports of arrival, particularly New York and Boston, assumed greater significance. (Back cover).."[This book] contains in tabular form extensive ship-by-ship details for the period covered, as well as images, maps and diagrams which provide the reader with a sense of the transformative experience encountered by those who sailed forver from Cork". (Back cover).Includes bibliography.
