Légende

Emigrant Ship, between Decks, 1850. Sailing ship bound for the colonies, showing: '...female emigrants making their arrangements for the voyage...[The women were enabled to emigrate by] the movement on behalf of the distressed needlewomen or London...the ladies and gentlemen who had devoted themselves to this work of benevolence, were enabled to despatch, in emigrant vessels, successive bodies of female emigrants, many of them rescued from the very depths of poverty and suffering, and all more or less objects of deep commiseration. The assembling of these voyagers on board the vessels, the addresses made to them by Mr. Sidney Herbert, the Rev. Mr. Quekett...and the personal interest taken in their fate by the noble ladies who had been working so hard in their behalf, were among the most touching incidents of the day'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
