Westward Cork Migration by Sail 1815-1860 by John Sutton

PART I CALENDAR OF CORK EMIGRANT SHIP SAILINGS 1815-60

‘ 50% of all Irish emigrants left through the Port of Liverpool as early as 1827 ’ (Adams 1932, 204), and the major ethnic group on British emigrant ships was Irish. Lest they be forgotten, a modest number of Ulster emigrants voyaged from Greenock and Glasgow (weighted toward Greenock in earlier years). *Port of Quebec Report for 1827.
