SUMMARY:1842 Passage from Belfast to New York
DESCRIPTION:Monthly Branch Meeting\nTalk by Sean Corr, Senior Library Assistant at the Linen Hall Library, Belfast.\nIn this presentation Sean will take us through this fascinating handwritten journal from The Linen Hall archives. This provides us with a detailed account of a six week journey of the passenger ship New Zealand which departed Belfast in May 1842,and arrived at New York City in early June of that year. The anonymous author describes incidents of note during the voyage, his interactions with his fellow passengers, as well as mentioning some of the literature he was reading on the journey. The journal gives us a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a typical transatlantic voyage from almost two centuries ago.\nIn-person\nClick here for more information on the Lisburn Branch ( https://www.nifhs.org/branches/lisburn/ )\n \n
