Description
English: Fishing out the bodies of the Exmouth by John Francis Campbell. The loss of the emigrant ship Exmouth Castle (ship, 1818) on 28 April, 1847 is one of the most tragic of all of the Islay shipwrecks. The ship owned by Mr. John Eden of South Shields had departed from Londonderry bound for Quebec on Sunday 25 April with two hundred and forty emigrants plus an additional three women passengers and eleven crew aboard. A memorial was erected near Sanaigmore Bay as a reminder of this terrible tragedy. This memorial is dedicated to the memory of 241 Irish emigrants who lost their lives on the 28th April 1847, when the brig 'The Exmouth of Newcastle' out of Derry and bound for Quebec Canada at the time of the great famine, was wrecked on the NW coast of Islay (on the southern side of Coul Point). 108 bodies, mostly women and childeren (63 under the age of 14, and 9 infants) were recovered and are buried under the soft green turf of Traigh Bhan. May their souls rest forever in the Peace of Christ. Some controversy about the name of this ship, Exmouth, or Exmouth Castle.
