Photographer’s Note
Grosse-Île, a small island lying about 30 miles east of Quebec city, is Canada's poignant and visible link with Ireland's Great Famine of 1845 -1849. In 1832 this little island in the Saint Lawrence River, resting mid channel and about 30 miles down river from the entrance to Quebec, was designated as a quarantine stop-over for European immigrants to the New World.
