The voyage of the 'coffin ship' the Ajax, from Dublin to Grosse àle, the Canadian quarantine station described in the contemporary diary of one of the passengers, Robert Whyte.

It is signed in the author's own handwriting and features vivid descriptions of the spectacular scenery along the way and striking delineations of the passengers, the crew and the suffering travelers.
