Potato Famine emigration.

edit

Is this not the same John Munn who vowed to help Irish emigrants fleeing the Potato Famine aboard deadly "coffin ships" by paying for the construction of a ship/ships that was/were sturdy and seaworthy and had enough room below decks that adults could walk upright? He did not over-crowd passengers and provided ample stores of food and water to last the entire trip. I believe the Munn ship/ships never lost a passenger unlike the coffin ships. Or is it another shipbuilder named John Munn? Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 05:40, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
