PART I CALENDAR OF CORK EMIGRANT SHIP SAILINGS 1815-60

* Correspondence about assisted emigration In1824 Peter Robinson produced an excellent lengthy report on Cork emigrant settlement in Upper Canada in 1823, which can be found on The Ships List site. The Mississippi River is referenced in the communication, which may cause some confusion – this author believes that it should have read the Mississagi River in Upper Canada. * Port of Quebec Information Comparative Statement: Arrivals at the Port of Quebec on 13 September 1823 and 1824.
