Pre-Famine and Famine era Irish emigration to North America, roughly 1710s-1850s

With Dr. Cian T. McMahon, author of three books and over a dozen scholarly articles on Irish and American history including The Coffin Ship: Life and Death at Sea during the Great Irish Famine (NYU Press, 2021) and The Routledge History of Irish America (2024).

Historian Dr. Cian McMahon takes us below deck on Ireland's famine-era "coffin ships," where survival depended not on luck alone, but on family, friendship, and the networks emigrants built before they ever reached America.

"You see these 'information wanted' ads where people say, 'I arrived on this ship, with this captain. I was supposed to meet my husband. If anybody knows where he is, please tell him that his family is here.'" — Dr. Cian McMahon
