## Caption

This is Mary.
She’s nine years old.
While she starved to death in Skibbereen, British ships sailed out of Ireland loaded with wheat and oats grown on Irish soil.
Her parents died first.
Mary died alone a few days later.
This was legal.
Drop a 🩸 for Mary and every victim of the Empire’s hunger.
