Comments
From the Northern Ireland port of Londonderry the Campbell family embarked September 28, 1808, on the ship Hibernia to sail to the United States, passing up the Lough Foyle to the Atlantic at MacGilligan's Point on October 1, 1808. The Shrove community at Inishowen at the tip of Donegal was the last anchor point for the Hibernia before its ill-fated voyage and eventual shipwreck on the Scottish island of Islay on October 7, 1808 (Richardson, 1868, vol. 1, p. 96). The Stroove Lighthouse was constructed in 1837.
