Westward Cork Migration by Sail 1815-1860 by John Sutton

PART I CALENDAR OF CORK EMIGRANT SHIP SAILINGS 1815-60

mortality rate from Ireland to New York in 1847 was only 1.33%, in stark contrast to voyages from either Liverpool or Cork to Quebec. In years other than 1847 Irish emigrants to Quebec experienced low voyage mortality rates except for the Cholera year of 1849 when 3.25% perished (McMahon 2021, 152). * Famine Emigration Statistics (1849). Total UK emigrants in 1849: 299,498 ; distribution: BNA: 13%, US: 73%, Australia 11%. Cork dropped just behind Dublin as the prime Irish emigration port in 1849 : BNA: 1,849 , US: 7,846 (McCarthy 2019, 270), consistent with the above 1849 Cork Calendar of Ships, which demonstrates a growing popularity for New York, Boston and New Orleans.
