About this listen

In this episode entitled 'Death and Dying' we take a deeper look at emigrant mortality; not only as it relates to graphs and statistics but also as a dynamic in real people’s lives.

The information you’ll hear in this series is based on the book The Coffin Ship: Life and Death at Sea during the Great Irish Famine by Cian T. McMahon. Available at:⁠https://nyupress.org/9781479808793/the-coffin-ship/

Across the Briny Ocean is a collaborative production between University of Nevada Las Vegas historian Cian T. McMahon and multi-award winning audio producer Daithí McMahon from the University of Derby.
