ISOLATION PROJECT | Day 18

            [Every day one image rescued from the archives]

The Famine Memorial, Dublin (detail)
Another haunting figure from Dublin's memorial to some 1.5 million Irish who boarded the "coffin ships" to North America during the potato famine of the late 1840s. These bronze sculptures depicting "the departure" were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands. Less well known is the sister sculpture commemorating "the arrival" which is located in Ireland Park on Toronto's waterfront. Similar figures look towards the city where, sadly, many would soon die of typhus in the nearby "fever sheds".
