Pour l’histoire, la croisière et la beauté du paysage
Dans cette station de quarantaine, devenue lieu historique national, des milliers d’immigrants irlandais ont séjourné. Intéressante leçon d’histoire sur les maladies infectieuses, la famine en Irlande, la vie en mer. Très agréable activité. La croisière en bateau nous met déjà dans l’ambiance. Le paysage est magnifique. L’animation sur Grosse-Île est amusante. Plusieurs personnages nous accueillent sur le quai : l’infirmière, le médecin, la maîtresse d’école, le boulanger, etc. On apprend comment les passagers vivaient sur l’île. On visite les installations : de l’hôtel de première classe à la chambre aux chaudières en passant par les étuves qui servaient à désinfecter les effets des passagers. La bonne humeur est au rendez-vous pour apprendre un pan important et souvent tragique de l’histoire pour les immigrants irlandais.
