Poor artist efforts in Boston, Massachusetts

Welcome to the Boston Irish Famine Memorial, a poignant and historically significant tourist attraction located at the corner of Washington and School Streets, near Downtown Crossing in Boston, Massachusetts. This memorial, beautifully crafted by artist Robert Shure, was commissioned by the Boston Irish Famine Memorial Committee and the City of Boston to honor the resilience and determination of Irish immigrants who fled the Great Famine and sought refuge in America. The memorial comprises several monuments, each telling a compelling story of the Irish journey from despair to triumph. Monument 1, "Arriving in Boston," recounts the harrowing experiences of the 37,000 Irish refugees who arrived in Boston in 1847, escaping the clutches of death and poverty. Monument 2, "Crossing the Bowl of Tears," vividly describes the perilous voyages on Coffin Ships, where many perished, turning the Atlantic into a "bowl of tears."
