The article contains a transcript of the emigration voyage of Keating Hurly, who left Galway in 1847. Per O'Connell: 'Kealing Hurly was literate and recorded his experiences and impressions - from his arrival and desperate search for work, in Boston, to life on board ship during the war with Mexico.'
