Irish Emigrants who died at La Vitícola Argentina:
On February 15th 1889, the SS Dresden arrived in Argentina with the largest batch of Irish immigrants: one thousand and eight hundred passengers. Some of the SS DRESDEN families were moved south to the new Irish Colony set up by Peter Gartland, at La Viticola near Naposta, north of Bahia Blanca, Argentina. There were no houses only tents and not even enough tents for everybody, so the rest lived under trees or in ditches, neither of which were adequate in a windswept plain, which was hot and dusty in summer, cold and wet in winter. The water was contaminated. Soon, because of illness and the lack of medicines, the dead included many young Irish children. By September 1889, the Irish colonists started to leave. In March 1891 the last, little more than five hundred, left the settlement for Buenos Aires leaving more than a hundred dead, most of them Irish children who are buried in an unknown mass grave. (The youngest of our family Mary died in La Vitícola). The McCarthy’s stayed and moved east to Balcarce, near Mar Del Plata, and survived the rigours of the pampas living as gauchos and prospered. Two of their Argentine born children were returned to Ireland in 1906 and both later served as adults on the Fort Rannoch and Muirchú, forerunners of the Irish Naval Service:
