Grosse Ile, Quebec ,Canada presented by Suzy Goulet
Grosse Ile is an island in the St. Lawrence River. This immigration depot opened in 1832 until 1937 and served as a quarantine station to protect Quebec City from epidemics. Thousands of Irish immigrants arrived in Canada from 1845-1849, coming to escape the Great Hunger. It is believed to be the largest burial ground for refugees of the Great Hunger outside of Ireland. It is estimated that almost 500,000 Irish immigrants passed through Grosse Ile on the way to their final destinations in Canada and the United States.
Ellis Island in New York was modeled after Grosse Ile.
