Delve into Irish history on this tour of the Jeanie Johnston Tall Ship, a replica of a 19th century ship used to escape the Great Famine of Ireland.

Jeanie Johnston Tall Ship Museum

At the designated time, we'll meet at the Jeanie Johnston Tall Ship, located on the north pier in Dublin. We'll board this living museum to delve deep into a period of history that marked Ireland forever.

During the 19th century, Ireland experienced one of the worst periods of famine in its history. This replica of a 19th-century sailing ship commemorates the history of immigration to the New World, escaping the hardships suffered during the Great Famine of Ireland.

For approximately 50 minutes, you'll learn the details of the Trans-Atlantic journeys made by these Irish emigrants. Exploring the small cabins below deck, you'll get goosebumps imagining the hundreds of people travelling on the ship. In these small rooms, up to 250 people could travel. 

What's more, the museum's life-size figures make the experience even more authentic. These figures represent real stories of some of the real-life people who travelled to America in search of a new life across the seas.
