Ship John Barry from Cork Ireland to Quebec

Journal of the Transport Ship John Barry between 22 April and 22 July 1825 during which time the said ship has been employed in conveying the Irish Emigrant Settlers from Cork to Quebec.

The journal has detailed notes on each of the Irish passengers Surgeon William Burnie treated. I have extracted the names, ages, dates of admission, whether the patient died or recovered and a few notes for some patients. Most patients have their illnesses noted in detail, along with medicines given, reaction of patient and other data.

It was quite distressing to read the surgeon's detailed accounts of their suffering, especially for the children. I have not included any such details in this extraction. It was very interesting reading the common medical treatments of the time, and also reading brief notes about conditions on board ship, food, accomodation etc.
  • May 20, 1825, vaccinated 18 children with the matter received from The Navy Board, including three children vaccinated by Surgeon Powers on the Elizabeth, it failed in every case. The vaccine must either have been too kept too long or originally bad. All the vaccinations on the John Barry failed.
  • July 10, 1825. Arrived Lachine. Met up with Surgeon Power's party [The Elizabeth] at the Barracks. More disease was contracted by contact with the ill in Power's boat.
  • July 19, 1825, Ay 11 am left Lachine and proceeded in Bateaux up the river [St. Lawrence]. The sick were put in a bateaux with an awning, the rest were in open boats. At 5 pm a violent thunderstorm and all passengers drenched and wet, also their bedding so all uncamped at the Cascades. One child died at 8 am July 20th from the weather
