Report on the Extent and Plight of Emigrants in New York. SOURCEThe Belfast
Mercury, April 19th, 1851

EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES. - NEW YORK, APRIL 2.- The number of emigrants arriving daily from Europe, and especially from Ireland, is astonishing. A day or two ago, the packet-ship Washington, Captain Page, from Liverpool, arrived at this port, after a somewhat boisterous passage of thirty-six days, during which she lost her main-topmast, fore and mizzen top - gallant masts, with sails attached. She brings five cabin and 956 steerage passengers, making a grand total, including officers and crew, of 1,010
souls, all in good health.

The Marine Hospital at STATEN ISLAND is crowded to excess, and a New York paper observes:-" The number of poor people from Ireland who are wandering the through the streets, in a starving condition, is dreadful. Every night they go to the police station-houses for food and shelter. Last night, in the Fourth-ward station-house, there were 80 poor people, of this description, huddled together, and when food was laid before the children, they rushed at it, and devoured it like hungry wolves. Such are the victims of Irish Landlordism." - Freeman.

Staten Island has many cemeteries that were abandoned dating from the year 1690 through 1979. FACSI cares for 8 of them. Each unique and with its own identity. The Marine Hospital Quarantine cemetery that is located in St. George has been particularly troubled and absolutely forgotten for 170 years.
In 1851 a New York newspaper writes:
"The Marine Hospital on Staten Island is crowed to access, the number of poor people from Ireland who are wandering through the streets of Staten Island in a starving condition is dreadful.”

Their fate was tragic, but now, more than a century and half later , they will receive the recognition and benediction they never received in life.

Join us Sunday September 20th 2 pm for the dedication of 2 memorials at the site.
