An Aid Ship To Ireland (1847) [Thanksgiving Week]
This Thanksgiving Week, some episodes favorite about community, what binds us -- and food!
It’s May 2nd. In 1847, a US military ship, the USS Jamestown, was loaded up with food and other relief to sail to Ireland and help with the famine in that country.
Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss how disparate communities in the US rallied around the cause, and how the Jamestown represented one of the first moments of international camaraderie for a new country.
