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. This photo illustrates how near Islay, one of the western islands of Scotland, is to the coast of Northern Ireland. The Hibernia was shipwrecked on Islay by a storm on October 7, 1808, stranding the family in Scotland for a year.
