A coffin ship (Irish: long cónra) was any of the ships that carried Irish immigrants escaping the Great Irish Famine, or the Great Hunger of 1845, and Highlanders displaced by the Highland Clearances (occurred between 1750-1860 where large landowners drove out smaller farmers to enclose or fence in more land under their control). Many died on the journey to a better life in the United States or Canada.
