The first picture here is an image of one of the women depicted in the Irish Famine memorial, on the docks where the majority of Irish emigrants would have left Ireland. I found this sculpture really striking in light of having completed this project because the woman here is similar to the way the Indian women in the opening of
The Swinging Bridge are portrayed, as women carrying and wearing everything they can before they leave their homelands.
The second picture is the entirety of the
Jeanie Johnston, a replica famine/coffin ship that Lilac has discussed already.
