Jeanie Johnston

Jeanie Johnston This ship is an accurate replica of the original Jeanie Johnston, which sailed between Tralee in Co. Kerry and North America between 1847 and 1855. During that time it carried 2,500 people on the seven week journey and despite the immense hardships and daily risks, no lives were lost on any of its trips. The replica gives a vivid sense of the challenges faced by emigrants as they fled from poverty and famine and were thrown together with strangers in cramped conditions, braving a 3,000 mile voyage buffeted by gales and harsh seas. Combination tickets also available with Liffey River Cruises.
