[Music] fleeing famine in the spring of 18-49 from the Northern Irish port of Warren Point a ship called the Hana carrying 180 Irish immigrants and a British crew of 12 sails for Quebec and a new life now the descendants of us Irish boat people set out to recreate the last stage of the Hannah's voyage off Cape ray in the Strait between Newfoundland and Nova Scotia they encounter pack ice ice like floating boulders [Music] on the 29th of April 18-49 at 4:00 in the morning the henna strikes and I scream the captain a 23 year old Englishman and the owner's son takes flight in the only lifeboat leaving the passengers to either drowned or freeze to death Don comes finding them castaways on endless acres of Arctic ice [Music] these descendants are on a mission from Ireland artist Sharon Donnelly and her contractor husband Podrick Kara her from Newmarket Ontario Tom Murphy he owns a tool and die company and his mother Jane a retired teacher from Cornwall Pat McCourt he - a retired teacher from Colorado theater manager Maggie Mowbray their quest their voyage into the past is simple they want to know what really happened to their people in the years of the great starvation what happened on the ice and before this is Ireland's official memorial to the calamity it remembers more than a million who fled their country on coffin ships like the Hannah the monument is haunting but it's hidden away at a remote coast far from the capital panting and hidden well describes the contentious story of the famine all over the countryside at least 1 million Irish are buried in mass graves mass graves are usually evocative of crime scenes perhaps amidst so many ruins from that time that's why they're so difficult to find in county monaghan there's one signaled by a half hidden sign on a back country road we got lost twice trying to find it like the families aboard the boat city be good SIA is taking her sister Isabelle on a journey into the past the goats his sisters are trying to find a trace of their Irish great-great grandparents the Brady's they know this much weakened by starvation the Bradys fell a victim to typhus a fever that turns the body Black is cold the eyes red as fire before it kills [Music] breathe the infected air and you will die too [Music] in memory of the millions of Canadians of Irish descent this is a film about the Irish Famine was the famine an act of God or mass murder in County Armagh in the shadow of a mountain called sleep bouillon this was once the most densely populated parish in all of Ireland down this lane in 1845 the Donnelly family their descendants still live in the original cabin from Ontario Jane and Tom Murphy come to meet lost cousins Sharon Donnelly her husband Podrick before the famine a Murphy married a Donnelly joining their family trees like half the people of Ontario Jane has Irish roots what's left of the Murphy home that was left behind is in the next field although it sits now this would have been some house I'd guess the gauge is really here that would be the original fireplace or can't you kind of see a piece of the guest the presence of a fireplace and even a window means the Murphy's were a little better off you're telling me that that big Murphy family would have been confined to these two rooms that's right yeah so 8 9 10 I'd say you're talking close to 12 we'll have to go now and look at the records I'd say you're talking to all people in these two rooms Wow it's something isn't it and low-tom look and and they think it's been raised a bit it was much lower yeah yeah most Irish lived in one or two room cabins like this one preserved at the Ulster museum this is the smallest house in the park and occupied by some of the first people we have a bed oat shot here and that size of bed would have been slept in by mum and dad and occasionally the youngest child we've got a pallet bed on the floor again three or four children would have slept there and two or three curled up on rushes on the floor now the population census of 1831 we know there were eight children in this one-room ten people a diet of potatoes morning noon and night boiled potatoes served in the basket which was placed on the floor the family sat round in a circle on a little creepy stools and ate the potatoes skin and all in 1845 the Ireland of the Bradys the Murphy's and the Donnelly's is an English province so green and fertile that not only does it feed its own ten million people it sends enough food to England to feed another 1 million the potato has an astonishing place in Irish life a field laborer can eat 14 pounds five kilos a day often potatoes pay the rent for four and a half million Irish potato the spud is the difference between life and death in County Monaghan silly goat CA has tracked down the church where she helps to find the records of her great-great grandparents Joseph and Ashley Brady this is the Church of Ireland meaning the Bradys were Protestant they were just as poor as the Catholics but at least there was money to keep records I think you know we're looking for their records for our ancestor who Sarah Brady who ended up point to Canada in 47 advertised the 22nd of September Eliza Jane Joseph Bede of for most there is something magic about old hand kept records ink and parchment sometimes revealing secrets the sisters discover that their great-great-grandmother had a brother they knew nothing about 83 is another one there's another one Thomas William the son of Joseph Tilly of really four of us - born June the 15th about June the 17th by me 1832 shadows are taking shape this is the Isle the baby's walked down to Wed this is the font where they're children including Sarah were christened dolls the rituals of Irish life all threatened by an apocalypse gathering on the wind this is Dublin Castle Ireland was ruled from here during the famine the original castle was built in the 13th century in their tracking of individual stories are Canadian descendants discovered that the famine is bound up with money and power one of Ireland's leading historians on the family says it is critical to understand where the power lay Peter gray one of the problems with our society is that it is very polarized socially you have the perhaps 10,000 families of landowners who've owned virtually all land of Ireland at the pinnacle of Irish society behind this wall lived one of the ten thousand families Bishop Alexander the Murphy's landlord who ruled over 36 square kilometers in the north of Ireland historian Kevin Murphy this is the house that the Murphy family and so on would have would have paid their rent now in the 1840s there was a middleman but this was a head landlord and the whole estate came here to pay rent it was a massive house this and it looked out on the bay of thumb dark mass of view so everybody was trying to get as much rent as possible from the tenants what is little expense as possible most of the Irish people speak only Gaelic and in a time of deep hostility towards Catholicism they are deeply Catholic the British lion the Irish monkey mass-circulation magazines like punch and even The Times newspaper routinely depict the Irish's Apes even calling them white [ __ ] there are large sections of British public opinion which are infest relief a style towards the Irish and which employ racialized language to denigrate the Irish the Ontario murphy's comes as the archives looking for a trace of their ancestor John Murphy helped by researcher Deirdre Murphy are we gonna be pretty excited by this deidre hope so when I went through the records what I find was the ladders that were written nice so the first one we have is a ladder from John Murphy out of the archival records comes the voice of John Murphy petitioning his old landlord for a section of land dreamed swamp perfect for growing more potatoes opposed to become a tenant to the right reverend nathaniel alexander nord bishop of maize for part of a spent bog that i strip adjoining my small farm in the timeline attorney McCree if I leave the rent and the value thereof to your honors consideration whatever you allowed I'm satisfied only continue major tenant John Murphy Tom recognizes Murphy bargaining and then it says below I think eight shillings per acre and abundance nevertheless we refer all to your honor well there should be typically a Murphy thing at the end a little amendment is fine but [Laughter] that's not to convey this is fair enough yeah it is almost like a Murphy [Music] in the memorable summer of 1845 the potato harvest is keenly awaited the year before had been bountiful John Murphy's planned for a few more acres of potatoes seems to have been ignored by the landlord but barring a catastrophe to be plenty of potatoes for the Donnelly's and the Murphy's the hope of a bountiful harvest is about to come to a heart-stopping end from the Americas crossing and cargo ships and embedded in seed potatoes the contagion that will crush a country is this war invisible to the eye Phytophthora infestans [Music] the damp European air unleashes the Spore in Europe the wind carries it to parts of England Scotland and finally to all of Ireland [Music] one hour the potato fields are green and growing the next they're blackening as if from a biblical plague they're watching potatoes ferment the fermentation feeds the fungus at the end there is nothing to save starvation looms revolution threatens Europe governments take steps to calm potato crisis in some cases forbidding the export of food in others importing tons of cheap grain to feed the people the British Parliament leaves the fate of Ireland largely in the hands of her 10,000 landlords many of them I think also see this as an economic opportunity to do what many of them have wanted to do for decades before the famine get rid of the population which has grown up to serve one form of economic activity grain production and replace it with pasture land and get rid of those people the Illustrated London News is the CNN of the day they hire an artist to record the famine he finds thousands starving to death amidst plenty county clare christmas 1847 the widow connor prays over a dying child the vicar waits to give death rites to John Mullins dying of typhus the O'Donnell boy dies of starvation his mother and two sisters will be dead by spring evictions begin landlord gangs use crowbars and fire to eject the villagers of movin by Christmas Day like so much of County Clare movin is a ghost town military tower is built to keep an eye on a rebellious population now overlook a landscape of ruins historian Kevin Murphy I don't think we have any real grasp of all how awful it was for example what are the eerie things about it that were mentioned by several travelers in Ireland at the time was that it was total silence children didn't play there were no children died playing and there were no dogs barking the dogs were eaten - a gone stir and you see the total silence was remarked on continually with the help of long-lost cousins the gutsiest discovered the ruins of their ancestral home so this would be the house this is what's left of that original Brady holding would this have been the entrance here would somewhere there that's the doorstep is it well there was it mm-hmm what do you think happened why did they leave Salman yeah and there were there were ten were tenants right and the crop field yep so couldn't feed their family it's a painful thing for people to have to leave their country and leave you know through circumstances of poverty so therefore when the next generation can that didn't talk about it from across Ireland tales of desperation role in some families fight back the artist captures tenant farmers defending cabins against the police gang they hurled boiling water of the intruders but resistance prosciutto as the starvation deepens John Murphy and his fellow landless tenants make a distressing discovery their landlord the bishop is sending a small fortune a thousand pounds every year to convert India's Hindus to Christianity during the time of the famine their size and pounds is going to India and that Tyson Pines is coming remember from the rents of the tenants but it grieves us to find so much money the produce of our industry given to strangers in a distant part of the globe with whom we have no sympathies and whose social condition are in many aspects far superior to that of your petitioners the landlord Bishop ignores John Murphy's cry for help the evictions take on a ruthless momentum police employed battering rams to smash homes to rubble [Music] the shocked inhabitants are told to sell anything that's left and report to the workhouse they enter a house of horror they're grossly overcrowded people are coming in with diseases you know one point two and a half thousand people a week are dying in these institutions in 1848 to enter you had to sell everything on entry families were split up children from mothers wives from husbands it was a cruel place to come in here to this place that you had to surrender up your land or you couldn't come in here you need tract yeah that's true you know you have to give up your land so like the whole idea was to come into a workhouse to receive assistance in an institution like this in a workhouse you had to be destitute you weren't entitled to it if you weren't destitute if you weren't truly truly desperate and they're taking behind that was that well if you had land you're not destitute where did the people go where were they buried well and this is this is a massive problem with people and from the workhouse was if they died in the workhouse and what would happen to them in that is that they would be buried in a pauper's grave this was something that people did not want to happen to them an unmarked paupers give great it was it was one of the worst things that could happen to them because they're not even association with the poor lordran life but also forever indebted I look at this place and I quite frankly it's terrible let them take a concentration camp oh yes it is [Music] a lot of landlords believe that the only future for them and the only future for Ireland that's the way they rationalize it is to remove what they regard us this surplice peasantry from the land and often out of their homes as well so there's nothing for them to go back to once they get out of the workhouse of the aggregate out of the workers there's no home there's no land the cottages are pulled down right so people really have nothing to go back to emigration is the only option if they survive the almighty sent the potato blight wrote one observer but the English created the famine the evidence was on the hoof all across Ireland people saw there were hundreds of thousands of livestock that could stop the starvation surely now that a calamity is confirmed this livestock will not be shipped to England [Music] but they are wrong in 1846 the second year of the famine 900,000 livestock and tons of grain are taken out of Ireland enough to feed everyone it is extremely controversial both at the time and afterwards that food continues to be exported from Ireland during the Great Famine and significant of Mines particularly of wheat barley and livestock animals are exported during the famine they're exported because these are not things that the per eat they can't afford to eat them right the per eat potatoes or in some of the batter off parts of the country the oatmeal as well Pat McCourt a retired schoolteacher from Cornwall Ontario is another Canadian descendant of the Irish boat people he's been combing the archives weighing the evidence and he's disturbed by what he's finding given what you say then about the difference between the classes and the great divide between them would you say then to solve their problem was the famine an act of God or was it an act of genocide I think it is both it is it is an act of God in that had there not been an outbreak of this completely unprecedented ecological disaster the potato blight there would have been no famine in Ireland government officials actually say this the Edward twistleton who was the head of the pur law in Ireland says after his resignation in spring 18-49 for a relatively small amount of money in that year you know people could have been kept alive and that's what he uses the term extermination which is very strong term you know landlords starve during the Great Famine it is the poor who starve those who hunt who don't have resources sylvie Godse's pursuit of her past began earlier with help from the O'Grady's [Music] they even encouraged her to learn Irish [Music] nice to meet you I put on the cap in case you'd be coming yes I'm so glad to be here have no idea was a strange thing that in Ireland we never really mourned the whole salmon and all of what went on until 97 was the beginning of it and there were so many sad little stories that came out of that time it was extraordinary you know one of the ones was that there was a man from new bliss and he broke a window because he wants to be put in jail and then he wasn't put in jail because they decided that they were not in jail and he was sent off home and he died at Cataldo Bridge just about a mile outside of the town of Mount Hood even now it makes me feel so weepy you know we never never really talked much about it or my parents never talked about it my grandfather was born on the third year of the famine 1918 49 you know he never spoke about it so why do you think that is because I think it was too too deep too traumatic the Murphy's to deal with hunger but what happens that New Year's 18-49 is a new level of dreadfulness a little Murphy daughter six year old bridget is alone in the house no one knows how the fire started the house burns to the ground consuming bridgett not surprised they probably left for Canada because every time you'd you'd look left right walk down alone and and you'd be remainders of your chains and the chains running the room you know are you I would have to get get away I'd have to move some that one bit surprised the left yeah and so a small story of the famine unfolds triggered by the death of a Murphy child in a fire the potato crop fails again the family gets word of a better life in a promised land called Canada [Music] the music goes farewell to the groves of shillelagh and shamrock farewell to the girls of old Ireland all round may their hearts be as merry as ever I would wish them went far away across the ocean I'm bound for the landlords and bailiffs and vile combination having forced us from hearthstone and homestead away may the crowbar Brigade I'll be doomed to damnation when we're on the green fields of Canada this is where they would have have come been walking out through you can see here Jane Nick it's a narrow entrance and here it didn't need to be away finally it's time to go from malabon they walked 25 kilometres to the port at Warren Point [Music] [Music] get on a boat and then we'll go to Canada in the spring of 18-49 Tom Murphy's great-great grandfather John potato farmer is going to see with his wife Bridget and six surviving children they are among a million who leave in Dublin these stark figures represent more than the million Irish people who like the Murphy's and the braised in seven years of famine took flight from the surrounding apocalypse Koval is expel stop so the cake shows one ski just a smidgen eli Celgene LSU basketball circus boy I centered on that - man in distress somewhere we eyespace you nearby the replica of a coffin ship much like the one the Bradys took um this is the bunk that you will be sharing if you'd like to accustom yourself to that in new Ross this second tall ship is a floating museum from famine days the vast majority of these family trips were originally constructed in Quebec in Canada the main reason for that being was at the time the timber required to pellet such ships simply just not we're not found in Ireland at the time welcome down everybody what's wrong looking at now at the moment is the infamous steerage section this is where at least 95% of the passengers on board this is their home bearing in mind that almost nobody on board had ever seen a vessel like this let alone to see one can only imagine how rough it must have been for people on an average day when the companionway is closed we are sealed down here for all all day long all week long it depends hopefully you've bought a supply of oak cake with you because this is what people survived on and it's oatmeal warm water and salt rover dark dried out in front of the fire for several hours the night before people emigrated they had what they called a living wig and the neighbors came with oat cake to give them for the journey it lasts for weeks and with the drink of water it swells up in your stomach so you feel you've had a lot to eat and that's how people survived and the weather was stormy and no food was good many people Jason would be confined to a single bomb ah good question it depends on the size of your family if there was four or five people with you that's that to assume for the whole journey one bunker family absolutely but that was a typical scenario was the famine worsened and immigration doubled you've been about up to two families per bone each passenger injured their own drama Canton libre de Silva new demand best came up on that evening so you might have had 200 people doing here you know people during the famine years were already weak coming on board ship some of them were already ill and of course they had no resistance was really to disease you know and lice of course spread the typhus you know rats of course I need to see this as well something as basic as toilet facilities adds to the suffering imagine an overflowing bucket so there was one of these under each bunk and that was taken up and emptied over the side during the day right when vorticity and stormy weather the hatches were batten down and as long as the storm last attack the buckets were not anything he was thrown away the bucket should be tipping over the feces all over the place kids who don't understand where all the kids even these days they'd be getting out in their feet walk and I'm trampling it back into here so you just bound like it just be you're bound for disease in here if there were so many people part belongs to you had to take turns and sleeping so for the most part if you could not fit in there you had to try and sleep on the floor leaving starvation behind the coffin ship Hannah with 180 passengers crammed below decks sails from Ireland on the 3rd of April 18-49 they are sailing into a new parent [Music] the famine ship hannah has made a rapid Atlantic crossing reaching Canadian waters in just three weeks so far the greatest danger facing the passengers especially the young women was the 23 year old captain himself that's the testimony of the ship's doctor William Graham bleeder in a Quebec City Hospital where he lies suffering from acute exposure the doctor denounces the captain I would remark that the general conduct of captain Shaw was not such as to command the respect due to the master of an immigrant vessel I have seen him on several occasions getting into the sleeping berths of unmarried women to the great scandal and annoyance of the orderly passengers Padma quartz great grandfather is aboard the Hanna I guess we would call it rape what he was doing he was crawling into the bunks of the young women much to the consternation of the other passengers after the crossing from Ireland the henna is heading for the street that separates Nova Scotia from Newfoundland it's snowing the winds are gale force but the henna is not slowing down subtly here's the sound of the wooden bottom of the ship being ripped open by the ice the Hanna comes to a dead stop I was roused by the screams of the affrighted women and children you can hear the crew shaitaan' up above and you're just frantically looking for your children because pitch black and you're just trying to gather them close to you you know there's something happening the ship the condo murmur feasibly trying to find six children and get them close to them because they really do know there's a problem here but everybody's obviously panic mm-hmm we're all gonna be trying to get up out of here captain Shaw ran into the cabin and from vents to his stateroom from which he took his chronometer his writing desk and a Cutlass when I think at that plank pad - he's given instructions to the crew yeah good boy nearly shot the trapdoor leading down to the passengers captain Shaw later disputes the accusations of his Irish passengers claiming they are unreliable witnesses let me ask the question when my officers and crew examined upon the subject or was it the report made by the passengers themselves and are their opinions to be made the basis were on to decide so important a subject I was informed by a mrs. Murphy a highly respectable passenger that captain Shaw and the carpenter in her presence nailed down the after hatch to prevent the escape of the passengers from below you start trying to counter yeah rush rush people trying to get up and then the thing is closed and then they've nailed it down wouldn't one of the sailors Timothy Hackett tore it open saying no no this is too bad let us give them a chance for their lives I look at this guy and I was like he's a villain like this guys coming in save his own skin he's done enough bad stuff but he's like I'm getting out of here and I hope everyone goes down when he jumped from the ship onto the ice from which he made his way to the lifeboat which was waiting for him distance with the first and second mate and some of the crew [Music] when was a time that it sunk in it for 40 minutes so by the time you get up here it's evident that the you're in a bad situation freezing water coming in I also lived on the ice but in doing so was disabled in one of my limbs to search and jumped out broke his leg in this state I reeled myself into the sea and swam after the boat surgeon Graham broken leg and all plunges into the icy water in person upon hearing which the captain stood up and made several blows at me with a naked Cutlass [Music] I wish I was obliged to make my way back to the ice only 40 minutes elapsed between the time the Hana first strikes the ice and when she disappears beneath the waves but through some incredible feats of bravery about 120 of the 180 passengers are still alive [Music] in this article and scape every step is dangerous few had boots in the chaos in the black dark we have a lady by the name of an McGann she has six children with her her husband Bernie is waiting on the docks in Quebec and she's searching for these children somehow gathers them up only to lose all of them off the ice [Music] and desperate John Murphy puts his twins Felix and Owen on an ice floe thinking it's safe he leaves to rescue the baby three year old rose miraculously Murphy finds rose in the icy waters [Music] the baby isn't breathing Rose survives the ordeal but is so traumatized she will not speak for three years when he turns to bring the twins back the Murphy's realize they are disappearing in the mist [Music] [Music] our descendants stand in for 120 desperate Irish people the odds are not good one by one they begin to fall succumbing to the awful temptation of death by freezing or as you die your body feels warm in the Artic night the sound of prayer [Music] [Music] at 4 o'clock the next afternoon out of the Mist appears another famine ship the Nicaragua risking his vessel the captain heads for the ice looking back it seems nothing short of a miracle somehow these desperate Irish immigrants survived 17 hours on the ice Alan is the great great grandson of Captain Marshall who rescued her it is tremendous now it's cousin Kara tuna but I know enough about the man that he wouldn't want to take me any credit for it because his Christian faith was such that he would have ordered to defer any of the glory you know to God I think the man is a total hero total hero and and I think he did it because because of his love of God but I would hope also because of his love of mankind that he didn't see those people the same way that captain Shaw saw them as as below him I'm here because someone pulled my great great grandfather who was one years old out of the water one person just one person we wouldn't be here but hadn't been for them and doesn't that really send your shiver through you yes [Music] the goatse sisters continue their search for their Irish roots this is the st. Lawrence River near Quebec in the distance Gracia during the potato famine it was a quarantine station all ships from Ireland were required to stop here my lab is ranked mortgage leisure difficulties in Dayton karin-san compare Judy in August 1847 there famine family the Bradys were ordered ashore Josefa natty had caught typhus ten year old sarah that escaped it the mother and father were crammed into a shed with dozens of others [Music] death by typhus is ghastly the veins swell black the eyes burned red there's no cure and there wasn't for the Bradys 10 year old Sarah their great-grandmother was left an orphan yes Eddie Joseph Davey the bath came in on the back a new jacket me Somali to perform Khalil is Ursula soapy sorry they didn't say rebellion or biscuits didn't man a lots of faster this is the biggest mass grave for famine victims outside of Ireland for the summer of 1847 alone there are more than 5000 buried here many are remembered on this memorial wall get on sit down sit put some daddies daddy mr. Joseph and the goats ears quest has taken them across the world in search of Sarah Brady now the search takes them to go back and the archives arriving in Grosse Ile ten-year-old Sarah was a passenger on the Aaron's Queen so then the Quebec scatological yeah I cannot sit like this at the very heavy Tibet to the ship's death toll was staggering so much so that the captain and his crew took desperate action we learned from the exchange register that the ship Aaron's Queen from Liverpool we think it's a set to passengers at goal sitteth since last Tuesday has been abandoned by the captain and crew yeah she had 50 deaths on the passage hundreds of Irish orphans were adopted by Quebec families those records are carefully kept if you know where to look now a Canadian census document contains a big surprise what's nice much gonna do three names Nicolas Hackett Catherine Hackett the family that adopted Sara Brady well I guess it [Music] I guess I can't say it's like I think I'm just glad something Tucker and obviously cared enough for her that she made it through [Music] it is that she had a home and it's kind of like what Maggie was saying you know it's like if it wasn't for her we wouldn't be here after rescuing the Hana passengers the nicaragua brings them to Quebec City captain Shaw has arrived earlier claiming all his passengers have died he is denounced but writes a public letter in his defense and manages to escape justice [Music] surgeon Graham whose heroism saved so many on the ice dies of his injuries in a Quebec City Hospital [Music] the Hana survivors like tens of thousands of Irish boat people settle in Quebec City Montreal Ontario and the eastern United States many came to Westport Ontario where they carved a new life out of the bush building cabins in the old style on government-granted land today the Murphy's host a Hannah reunion coming up into this area here you could take a slice a slice Ireland off pick it up drop it up here in this country right here and drop it here part in Westport and it's the same people it's the same names the same people live down the street every day the same house is the same everything when Bernie Murphy died and he was a year to two years old on the Hannah when he died he owned a thousand acres of land his father John in Ireland owned four acres of land and that was big now his big old mom did not excuse me didn't write Tom write ever owned no write ever owned write rent rent it if there is a house haunted by the famine it's here the home bahraini McGinn built for his wife and six children as they fled the famine aboard the Hanna captain Marshalls autobiography said that he he was in in Quebec waiting for her she got off the Hana by herself and he also states that she was badly frostbitten she has no children they've all drowned or frozen to death that wasn't the end of it she came here she totally anguished like mother and lose all of your children it did he blame her did she blame him what kind of a life did they have after that they might just as well have died and gone down in the Hana she might just well herself like the tragedy for her and for him and for Barney fair never ended my name is Patrick on my offer this rose as a mark of respect to all the people who had to stay behind an errand I never had the opportunity of a new leaf my name is Jane Murphy and I'd like to drop this rose in memory of them again we lost all six of her children my name is Tom Murphy dedicate this rose to my great great grandfather John Murphy with losses to twins who floated away on the ice my name is Sean Donnelly Cara and I'd like to offer this rose for all the children that were lost so far from home [Music] [Music]
