PART III CATALOGUE OF CORK-BASED EMIGRANT SHIPS 1815-60
Two voyages in 1842 with emigrants – 198 in Spring, just 10 in Autumn, demonstrating a typical emigrant reluctance to face the winter months on arrival. More so for Quebec than New York. Captain Thomas Cooper Clarke b.1808 replaced Captain William Preston White as Cork Harbour Master in 1854; holding that post until succeeded by Captain Henry Raynes in 1873.
