This volume serves as a research resource into the Irish immigration travelling through this funnel by offering a year-by-year listing of known voyages between an Irish port and a harbor in the aforementioned maritime provinces of Canada. Footnotes provide information on the availability of passenger lists. Additional contextual materials address the demographic crisis that precipitated Irish migration, the geography of the migration experience, and the challenges of interpreting passenger lists. Five appendixes offer additional information on Irish immigration to the region through other primary sources. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
