A late 19th century view of Moville, a coastal town located on the Inishowen Peninsula of County Donegal, Ireland. In the second half of the 19th century, it was a point of embarkation for travellers, especially emigrants, to Canada and the United States of America. In the late 19th century, steamships of the Glasgow-based Anchor Line and Allan Line made port at Moville while en route to and from New York, later the Canadian Pacific Line also established a terminal at the port as part of their service connecting Liverpool and Montreal for Canadian-bound Irish immigrants.
