We visited the Jeanie Johnston ship the second day of our trip at Dublin, after the Epic museum. This ship is a replica of the original. The original Jeanie Johnston carried 2500 Irish emigrants on 16 transatlantic trips to North America throughout the Famine years. We learnt a lot about the potato famine ( one of the darkest periods of Irland’s history). Almost 1/4 of Irland’s population either died or emigrated during this period. The guide was passioned by this subject when he told us about this story. It was so amazing and interesting!!!
