It has been said that if it had been possible to lay a slab to commemorate every Irish person who died at sea during the famine period, one could walk dry-shod to America.
The famine pots serve as a reminder to the present and future generations of that grim period in our history when a million Irish people died of starvation and famine related disease. In addition, more than a million people were forced to emigrate, many of them to die in the coffin ships bearing them to the land of promise.
The purpose of this Youtube channel along with our website, www.irishfaminepots.com, is to raise awareness about the role the pots played in Ireland's history and to also welcome information you may have about any as yet undiscovered famine pots.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our channel and we hope you enjoy the information provided in the videos.
