Skeletons on a famine ship, National Famine Monument, Westport in Co. Mayo #128387182
Description
This is a close up of the bronze skeletons on a famine ship, National Famine Monument, Westport in Co. Mayo, Ireland. Crafted by John Behan, the dramatic sculpture depicts a `Coffin Ship` with skeleton bodies in the rigging. `Coffin Ship` was the term used to describe the ships which left our shores horrendously overcrowded with emigrants fleeing the famine. The dire and unhygenic conditions on board ensured that many did not reach their destination. The National Famine Monument was unveiled in 1997 by President Mary Robinson.
