TOPIC: POTATO BLIGHT
The questions to be answered:
-What is the scientific name of the organism that caused the potato blight? [Pay attention to how to write a scientific name properly]
-What were the consequences of the potato blight in the 1840s in Ireland?
-What does this have to do with ‘coffin ships’?
oh wow. haha. kae and so how am i gonna do this?!.. hmm.. I shall go find and come back later. Haha.
ok im back. I found this load of crap!!. haha. ok.. here it goes..
The organism that caused the potato blight is Phytophthora infestans, a fungus like organism.
The epidemics that destroyed potato crops in Europe in the 1840s led to mass starvation. In the Great Irish Famine of 1845 to 1847, up to one million people died and a similar number of people emigrated to the rest of Europe and the USA. There were factors that contributed to the starvation, including the land-tenure system in Ireland at that time, and the almost total dependence of the poorer working population on potatoes as their source of food. Nevertheless, potato blight ranks as one of the most devastating diseases in human history. Even today it is one of the major pathogens that chemical companies target in their search for new fungicides.
A coffin ship was the name given to the ships that carried Irish immigrants escaping the effects of the potato famine. These ships, crowded and disease ridden, with poor access to food and water, resulted in the deaths of many people as they crossed the Atlantic. While coffin ships were the cheapest way to cross the Atlantic, often more than half of the passengers died during the voyage. It was said that sharks could be seen following the ships in packs because so many bodies were thrown overboard.
