Here we are again,
today is Friday and we have only a plan, to visit the Dumbrody ship (the famine ship) in New Ross, it's an afternoon plan and in the morning, iolanda spents her time shopping in the supermarquet and Pere and the kids playing a chess game with some Irish boys in the city....good plan, isn't it??
so, once the morning was over, we went to New Ross in the afternoon, Iolanda had already visited it last year and she liked the ship and its history a lot. It was difficult for to follow the guide explanations but more or less we could guess about its history. A ship where a lot of Irish left the land because of the potato crisis and the huge famine that was spreading through the country. A ship which travelled to America in horrible conditions for those without many money and with many casualties. You were given a paper with some names and you had to find where you slept and if you had died at the end. It was a nice visit and we could take nice pictures and wonderfult videos, enjoy it!
Ei.. aquí estem una altra vegada,
així que, una vegada acabat el matí, hem anat cap a New Ross, la Iolanda ja
havia visitat aquest vaixell l'any passat, li va agradar molt. La visita és
molt xula tot i que costi seguir les explicacions del guia però més o menys
tothom es va assabentar que era un vaixell de mercaderies que anava a Amèrica a
comprar teles, que en el viatge d'anada es va aprofitar per a portar gent que estava
morint de gana a causa de la crisi de la patata d'aquells anys. Molta gent
viatjava en condicions pèssimes i molta gent hi va morir. Quan entres et donen
un paper amb el teu bitllet i el 'nom' imprès. Has de buscar-te per dins el
vaixell: on dormies, amb quina altra família dormies, i si al final vas
sobreviure al viatge o no. Interessant i molt divertit! (video aquesta tarda )
