The Ship Chile (1827)
Emigration
1827
One of three ships that carried Manx emigrants to Ohio in 1827. The Chile was chartered by the Corletts of Orrisdale and carried about thirty-six passengers. The Corletts were a long-established Manx family — when they chartered a ship to Ohio, a family that had farmed Orrisdale for generations was uprooting itself.
