The sculptures have been removed from their previous location at Waterloo Place Image] They are located at Atlantic Quay, adjoining Sainsbury's. Emigrants left from here in barges to catch a ship anchored off Moville to take them to America. The waiting ships would have sailed across from Glasgow or Liverpool to anchor off deeper water in County Donegal.
