Coffin Ship: the Wreck of the Brig St. John

William Henry

Coffin Ship: the Wreck of the Brig St. John

The famine drove huge numbers of Irish people to leave the island. In 1847, some 200,000 people sailed for Boston alone. Of this group, 2,000 never made it to their destination, killed by disease and hunger during the voyages. This book tells the tale of the sinking of the famine ship, the St John in Boston Bay in 1849.
