Ship “Aeolus” from Sligo, Ireland
Lord Palmerston’s clearing of His Sligo Estate, 2 November 1847
Henry_John_Temple,_3rd_Viscount_Palmerston
THE SHIP: AEOLUS
that Departed Sligo, Arrived 1 Nov. 1847, in ST. JOHNS (New Brunswick), Canada.
Saint John is a city on the Bay of Fundy, in New Brunswick, Canada. It’s known for the Reversing Rapids, a phenomenon caused by bay tides colliding with the Saint John River.
Lord Palmerson’s Estate, in Sligo, Ireland was cleared to avoid Poor Law Union Charges. This was a tax to support/feed those starving from the “Great Hunger” An Gorta Mor (1845-1850) in Ireland. People were dying every day from no food. They were starving. Instead of helping, this Man (and We use that term loosely) just fooled them – and hired a “coffin ship” to take them elsewhere (Canada) to rid himself of these Human Beings so He did not have to pay a “tax” on them (as that is the way the then Authorities dealt with the Starvation — and it is really sickening) as He obviously valued Money over Human Life !
So Palmerson chartered the Ship and “asked” all His Tenants to “leave to a better place” – many on the ship did not even have enough clothing to “cover their nakedness” —
Pauper Emigrants – The Common Council have appointed a Committee to make arrangements with the Master of the ship Æolus, respecting the unfortunate emigrants on board that vessel, sent out by Lord Palmerston, of whom every care will be taken consistent with public safety. The Quarantine Establishment on Partridge Island was broken up this week, and the emigrants removed to the Alms House Hospital, except a very few, who were too ill to be removed with safety. These remain under charge of a medical man, and are awaited upon by McGowan, the Steward, who with his wife, remains on the Island. – New Bruns

| Government Emigration Office, St. John,
2 November 1847. Sir, I have to report the arrival of the ship “Aeolus” from Sligo, with 428 passengers, for which vessel a ship return is enclosed.
I have not as yet received any information of the sailing of this vessel from Sligo, and so soon as I learned that she was off the harbour with passengers, I went down to her, and was present with the health officer at the inspection.
It appeared that eight of the passengers and one of the crew had died on the voyage, and 16 passengers and six of the crew lay ill with fever; several of the passengers who were able to come on deck exhibited strong symptoms of the fever.
The whole of the passengers by this vessel (except six) have been cottiers on the estate of Lord Palmerston, near Sligo, and have been sent out at his Lordship’s expense.
There are many aged persons of both sexes on board, and a large proportion of women and children, the whole in the most abject state of poverty and destitution, with barely sufficient rags upon their persons to cover their nakedness; none of the younger portion of the inhabitants have either shoes or stockings; there is a great deficiency both of petticoats and trousers, and one boy about ten years of age was actually brought on deck stark naked.
The arrival at this unusually late period of so large number of destitute and naked emigrants is deeply to be regretted. The vessel has been placed in quarantine; but before these people are allowed to land, they must be provided with sufficient clothing to protect them from the inclemency of the season , or they will perish. A very large proportion are unable to support themselves even if they could procure labour, and these must become a public charge at the present time, with the probability of their becoming so permanantly.
I have, Sc (Signed) M. H. Perley, H. M. Emigration Officer. The Honourable, John S. Saunders, Prov. Secretary, &c. &c. &c. |
This was the second voyage of the Aeolus that arrived November 1 with 428 passengers sent out by Lord Palmerston.
Passenger List:
Arrival of Sligo’s Famine Immigrants at St.
an excerpt from Poor Ignorant Children by Peter D. Murphy: ‘On 1 November, the very day the Saint John quarantine station was due to close for the season, the Aeolus arrived from Sligo with more than four hundred of the most disease racked passengers ever to arrive in the city, all but six of them former tenants of the British Foreign Secretary, Viscount Palmerston. Among them were large numbers of children “with barely sufficient rags upon their persons to cover their nakedness.” Many of the passengers were old, enfeebled and sick from starvation.
When ordered to report on the circumstances surrounding the arrival of the Aeolus, Moses Perley declared that in five years as Government Emigration Officer for the Port of St. John he had never seen greater misery and destitution: ninety nine out of every hundred would have to be supported by public charity.”
At an emergency meeting on 10 November, the members of City Council failed to arrive at a means for the community to shelter and support such an “unheard of mass of misery.” The only option, they thought, was to compel those “recently landed from the Aeolus, and others already in the city begging from door to door,” to return to Ireland.

The Lieutenant Governor was shocked by the council’s proposal, and promptly informed the mayor that the government would play no part in providing return passages to Ireland.’
The Aeolus was only one of the many coffin ships that left Ireland in the 19th century. The human tragedy described above was multiplied a hundred fold by the passages of many others.
Letters written by the landlord classes in the early 1900s document their dismay at the shift in economic and political power away from them. They regarded the resurgence of nationalism as nothing more than sedition and disloyalty and bemoaned the ineffectiveness of the government response. Increasing costs of management and the disappearance of peasant rents made it impossible for these English landowning classes in Ireland to make ends meet. Through the centuries it seemed like the sun would never set on their fortunes — but after the First World War most disappeared like spring snow.
Some descendants of these Planters may still be found living in much reduced circumstances in ‘big houses’ here and there in the countryside.
William Bulfin once observed a group of the ascendancy attending a regatta and summed them up thus:
‘Most of them showed breeding both in feature and carriage. Yet they saddened me. They impressed me as being hopelessly aloof from their country and their time. There was nothing about them to show that they regarded themselves as Irish people. In dress, accent, social conventions and amenities they had fashioned themselves by English models… Standish O’Grady, one of themselves, and one of the best of them, told them the truth when he said that they were going, going — “rotting from the land without one brave deed, without one brave word.”’
