Outside
the main centre we were divided into lines and our guide told
us what we would be seeing on our tour. He then took us inside
the centre where there was a souvenir shop, a restaurant and
toilets. The guide took us to our first stop which was a model
of the immigrant ship on which Irish people sailed to America
a long time ago. They were trying to make a new life in America
as times were very difficult in Ireland and a lot of people
were starving because of the famine. It was not very nice
inside and there wasn't much space. Many people took ill and
sometimes died because of the bad conditions on board and
did not always reach America.
