this partial list has been compiled by Mary Wilkinson, who has kindly
submitted it to TheShipsList
partial passenger list
for the ship Agnes,
Captain Thomas McCawley / McAlley, sailed from Cork, Ireland on the
9th April 1847, arrived at
port of Quebec, 10th June 1847.
My
great-great grandparents, Maurice DINAN and Catherine (nee HARTNEADY)
came to Canada
on this ship. I have been able to harvest
the names of some of the crew and passengers who died at sea, at the
Grosse Isle Quarantine Station in Quebec or in the hospital there. I
hope this is of interest and possibly will help someone else. The true
count of those who died before they reached their final destination will
never be known. These names were taken from the Quebec Morning Chronicle newspapers
for that deadful summer and from the book by Marianna O'Gallagher and
Rose Masso Dompierre "Eyewitness Grosse Isle 1847" (Livres Carraig,
Sainte Foy, Quebec, Canada, 1995, ISBN 0-9690805-9-X). If you can add
any information to this list, please contact me, so the list can be made
as complete as possible. Thanks,
Mary Wilkinson
The Agnes cleared to sail April 9, 1847
and set sail from Cork Harbour on the 10th. She was the 8th ship to arrive
at Grosse Isle Quarantine Station for the 1847 navigation season
on May 21, 1847, with her passengers suffering from fever and dysentery.
The ship was not released from quarantine until June 9, arriving at the
port of Quebec
on June
10.
The Agnes carried 2 cabin passengers and 427 / 428 steerage
passengers ; 19 died at sea ; 35 at the quarantine station ; 96 in the
hospital ;
(total
deaths
160).
[ sources vary
regarding numbers of dead. Dr. Douglas at the quarantine station reported
79 dead
at Grosse Isle and 190 sick with fever and dysentery
when the ship was released to Quebec on June 9th ; Mr. A.C. Buchanan,
the Chief Emigration Agent, reported 41 days at sea, 18 days in quarantine
with 39 deaths at sea, 35 deaths on the vessel at quarantine, and 96
deaths in the quarantine Hospital, for a total of 170 ]
This list is some of those who traveled to the New
World on the Agnes, one
of the worst of the "Coffin Ships" with an estimated mortality rate of about
40%. So
far Mary has found the following: Died at Sea 19 (plus 9, name unknown) ; Survivors
1
;
Died
at
Hospital
on Grosse Isle & at Quarantine Station 131 ; Died on Board ship At Grosse Isle
29 ; Reported in Newspaper 1
