The Unquiet Ghost of the Carricks
|
| Abstract |
The Irish Famine ship "Carricks of Whitehaven" sunk in a storm off Cap-des-Rosiers on the Gaspé coast in late April 1847 with the loss of 126 lives—all excess tenants from Lord Palmerston's estates in Sligo in the northwest of Ireland. Georges Kavanagh, a fifth generation Québécois of Irish origin, tells the story of his great-great-grand-parents, Patrick and Sarah Kaveneys, and their son Martin, who survived the ship wreck. Five of their daughters died. The descendants of the Kaveneys became the French-speaking Kavanaghs of Gaspé.
and lived out their lives in Cap-des-Rosiers
