Tógadh é seo chun chomóradh a dhéanamh ar an cheangal idir Árainn Mhór agus Oileán na Béabhair i dtuaisceart loch Michigan i Meiriceá.

Tá nasc láidir ag an oileán le hÁrainn Mhór, mar áithitheoirí síolraigh ó teaghlaigh Árainn Mhór. I 1849 cheannaigh an tiarna talún John Stoupe

Charlie an oileán. Sa bhlian 1851 dhíbir sé 220 duine ón oileán. Thaistil na díothaithe go Meiriceá ar dhá bhád a chuir sé ar fáil agus shocraigh a lán acu ar oileán Béabhar. Sa bhlian 1884 chuaigh 96 duine eile as Árainn Mhór go Béabhar.

This monument was built to commemorate the close connection between Arranmore and Beaver Island, in northern Lake Michigan in the USA. Beaver Island has a strong connection with Arranmore where descendants of Arranmore families still live and prosper.

In 1849 the landlord John Stoupe Charlie bought Arranmore Island and in 1851 he expelled 220 people from the island to make room for his livestock.

The exiles travelled to America on two ships which he provided, and many of these exiles settled on Beaver Island, also known as America’s Emerald Isle.
