For someone to come here like my great-great-grandfather getting on a coffin ship in the Irish Sea, back in 1848, it took courage, it took optimism, it took determination.

就像我的曾曾祖父，1848 年在爱尔兰海登上棺材船，这需要勇气，需要乐观，需要决心。

Some made the journey on so-called " coffin ships, " packed with desperate immigrants and so filled with disease and death that an estimated 25 per cent died before they completed their journey.

有些人乘坐所谓的“棺材船”，船上挤满了绝望的移民，疾病和死亡充斥其中，估计有 25% 的人在完成旅程之前就去世了。
