An Gorta Mor - The

MI
Located on the grounds of St. Joseph's Shrine in the Irish Hills is a
permanent memorial to the victims of the Irish Potato Famine of 1845-1850. It
consists of two limestone columns that support a stone step from the Penrose
Quay in Cork Harbor, Ireland from where many immigrants boarded
ships to come to America.
An empty bronze bowl between the posts symbolizes the Great Hunger. Surrounding the structure are 32 black
stones, one for each county in Ireland.
