Between 1847 -1856 William Graves was shipping people out of New Ross - to Canada as we all know from the Coolattin Estate. They used the ships Aberfoyle, Agent, Albatross, Colonist, Confiance, Dunbrody, Dunbrody11, Erin, George Ramsay, Glenlyon, Harmony, India , Jane, John Bell, Juno, Lord Ashburton, Margaret, Margrette, Pandora, Peterel, Pilgrim, Progress, Scotland, Solway, Standard, Star, Syria, Tottenham, Triton, Virginius, Wandsworth, Woodstock, W S Hamilton Father Hore when he decided to encourage people to follow him to America had the emmigrants make their own way to Liverpool and there they began their long and weary sea voyage to the states He used three ships Chasca, Loodianah, and the Ticonderga. So it would be safe to say that New Ross would have been a departure point for some sailing vessels......... The departure place is going to be subject to why they left Ireland? and When they left Ireland ? Cheers Cara
