SUMMARY:Nine Ships 1825- Bicentennial Souvenir Book Launch May 30th
DESCRIPTION:The special Bicentennial Souvenir\, a book produced by Nine Ships 1825\, is an attractive\, informative and welcome addition to our understanding of the Peter Robinson Irish Emigration of 1825. \nThe public is invited to attend the Launch of this Bicentennial Souvenir book on May 30th at 11:00 am at the Peterborough & Kawarthas Chamber of Commerce\, Board Room\, 175 George Street\, North in Peterborough. \nNine Ships 1825 is grateful to generous sponsors\, Gary and Joanne Reamey and Paschal and Sylvia McCloskey\, the Federal Government of Canada and other wonderful financial supporters. The publishing of this book was also made possible by Robert and Julie Young\, Dr. John and Denise Lyne\, Carl and Kathryn Young and Michael Battaglia Enterprises Inc.!  Robert & Julie Young  \nHear from historian Elwood Jones about how this attractive Bicentennial Souvenir has truly been a team effort. Learn how Nine Ships 1825 had support from many local community groups to develop plans to commemorate this remarkable Irish Emigration. Meet the talented graphic designer Aaron Robitaille\, who did a wonderful job of layout and design. \nIn this Souvenir you will learn about the Peter Robinson political experiment\, which recruited 2\,024 people in 307 families to prove that it was worthwhile for the British Government of the day to fully finance an 18-month emigration from a volatile area of Ireland to a fertile area of Upper Canada\, ultimately known as the Peterborough area. \nThe central piece of this Souvenir is an alphabetical listing of all the passengers who crossed on the Nine Ships commissioned by the British Government: the Fortitude\, Resolution\, Albion\, Brunswick\, Star\, Amity\, Regulus\, Elizabeth and John Barry. This is supplemented with historical notes to help place the 1825 emigration in a context of Ireland\, ocean travel\, difficulties of travel in a migration that lasted about three months\, of which the ocean saga was one month. \nThe Souvenir contains a guide to the events taking place through this Bicentennial year of 2025 as well as details of the August 1 to 10 Bicentennial Week events. \nAfter the launch the Bicentennial Souvenir will be available online at www.nineships1825.com \, at Trent Valley Archives\, 567 Carnegie Avenue\, Peterborough and at the County of Peterborough\, 470 Water Street\, Peterborough.                                                   -30- \nContact: Elwood Jones at ejones55@cogeco.ca
