Jeanie Johnston, Dublin Overview
The Jeanie Johnston is a replica famine ship located in Dublin, Ireland. It is a popular attraction that serves as a museum dedicated to the history of the ship and the Irish emigration experience during the 19th century.
Jeanie Johnston was a three-masted barque ship that was constructed in 1847 in Quebec, Canada. It was known for its remarkable 16 voyages across the Atlantic Ocean, carrying Irish immigrants escaping the Great Famine to North America. Unlike other ships of the time, the Jeanie Johnston never lost a passenger to disease or the sea during its voyages. This was attributed to the ship's innovative design, which included efficient ventilation and hygiene systems. Visitors can explore the cramped quarters where hundreds of people slept during the long voyage to America, as well as learn about the hardships they faced on board while visiting this memorial to the Irish emigrants.
