Those who did safely arrive in 'the land of opportunities' were often used for the hard labor of building railroads, coal mines, bridges, and canals. Unfortunately a great many of these passengers lost their lives - the only thing many had left - to disease, starvation, and accidents during the long and dangerous journey. With apparently nothing to lose, Irish people left on ships bound for North America and Australia. The height of this Irish migration came during the Great Potato Famine of the late 1840s. Like most new world settlers, the Irish initially settled on the eastern shores of the continent but began to move westward with the promise of owning land. In the 19th century, thousands of Irish left their English-occupied homeland for North America.
