Below is a painting of the Ship "Houghton", which brought my Great, Great, Great Grandfather Patrick Boyle and my Great, Great Grandfather Frank Boyle, as they emigrated from Donegal, Ireland to New York City on November 13, 1849 during the Irish Potato Famine. They eventually settled in Lansford, Carbon County, Pennsylvania. Patrick's wife, Margaret, along with another son, Patrick, followed on another ship and arrived, a day later. In the photo to the right, is the Ship "Houghton" in the New York City harbor.
