Step aboard the Jeanie Johnston and journey back to the 19th century, when thousands fled the Irish Famine in search of a new life. On this 50-minute guided tour, explore the tall ship’s upper deck, admire its majestic masts, and take in the sights of Dublin’s Docklands.

Then venture below deck to witness the cramped quarters where 250 emigrants once endured perilous voyages. Through powerful stories of passengers and crew, you’ll uncover the hardships, hopes, and resilience that defined their journey across the Atlantic.
