Westward Cork Migration by Sail 1815-1860 by John Sutton

PART I CALENDAR OF CORK EMIGRANT SHIP SAILINGS 1815-60

* Cork Shipping Report on the Provision Trade and Emigration ‘Merchants Quay which in better days presented its surface covered with beef, pork and butter, prepared for shipment, now presents a very different aspect. We see it crowded to excess for the entire range with men, women and children, all preparing to leave their homes and families, to seek in America, the country of their adoption, that subsistence they have in vain looked for at home. Alongside the quay are six ships receiving the hosts of emigrants who had fortunately engaged their berths early, whilst also at every ship are to be found groups lamenting that they had not been more timely in their applications and are now doomed to await further arrivals in order to engage their passages. The Pallas dropped down to the Cove on Tuesday evening with 220 emigrants on board’ ( Cork Chronicle). *Death and Disease on Cork Ship. ‘The bark Mary , Henry Deaver, master, from Cork 12th April, with 300 emigrants, is detained to perform quarantine at Grosse Isle, in consequence of having several cases of fever on board, who have been landed, and the usual precautions adopted with regard to cleansing and purifying the vessel’ ( Cork Chronicle).
