Ireland Park, Memorial park at Toronto waterfront, Canada.
Five bronze sculptures stand along Lake Ontario, depicting emaciated figures of Irish immigrants next to a limestone wall inscribed with names.
The park commemorates 38,000 Irish individuals who arrived at Toronto's shore in 1847, fleeing the devastating potato famine in their homeland.
The bronze sculptures mirror a similar Famine Memorial in Dublin, connecting both shores through art and creating a symbolic journey from departure to arrival.
Visitors can reach the park by walking west along Queens Quay at Bathurst Street, following the boardwalk past the marina to the Canada Malting Silos.
The limestone wall contains names of 1,100 immigrants and Toronto citizens, including Bishop Michael Power, who died during the 1847 typhus epidemic.
