THE FAMINE ORPHANS
Novel. 1848. The girls, mostly orphans, came from every part of Ireland to board ships bound for Australia. The Earl Grey Scheme was presented as an opportunity for young women to gain employment as domestic servants. But, unstated, the girls were to "civilize" the convicts sent there, so that settlements could be built.
