White Pine Pictures: The Force of Hope: The Legacy of Father Mc Gauran

Curated by ACT

The Irish Potato Famine of 1847 brought thousands of Irish immigrants to Canada. A large number of them died of typhus and cholera en route or after arriving at the quarantine station on Grosse Isle in Quebec. Father Bernard McGauran was stationed on Grosse Isle at that time. This site outlines the history of the potato famine and the legacy left by Father McGauran, and describes the making of a television documentary.
