The Coffin Ship: Life and Death at Sea During the Great Irish Famine

byCian McMahon

The Coffin Ship is Cian McMahon's historical account of life and Death at Sea During the Great Irish Famine. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of history and social science. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. The Coffin Ship leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
