Full description

The Jeanie Johnston is a replica of a 19th-century tall ship that carried emigrants from Ireland across the Atlantic during the famine years. Moored in Dublin's Docklands, it is explored on a one-hour guided tour that covers the stories of passengers and crew and the conditions of the crossings.

Guides help visitors picture life below deck by comparing the ship's details with the realities of emigration. Reviewers praise the knowledge and storytelling of the guides, though one mentions the guide was sometimes hard to hear on board.
