Famine Diary, by Gerard Keegan
€4.00
Quay Books
1847... Gerard Keegan, a schoolteacher, and his young bride left County Sligo to travel aboard the now infamous coffin ships to Canada.
In his diary Gerard Keegan charts the reality of famine and emigration - relatives seeking his advice, the walk from Sligo to Dublin, fever on board the ship, a fight with the first mate, a catch of fish, storms, sighting whales, the passengers’ first sight of land - and the bittersweet fate of those who survived to reach the promised New World.
