The voyage of a 'coffin ship' from Dublin to Grosse Ile, in Canada, described in the contemporary diary of Robert Whyte. Coffin ships transported over 100, 000 people in flight from famine, fever and conditions involving deprivation of all human rights. It illustrates what the poor passengers had to endure while en route and many did not survive.
