| Description |
English: A visit to Dublin Docklands would not be complete without seeing the famine replica ship the Jeanie Johnston. The recreation of the Jeanie Johnston was one of the most ambitious maritime heritage projects undertaken in Ireland taking several years to complete. Acquired by Docklands Authority in September 2005, the ship is permanently moored at North Wall Quay close to Rowan Gillespie's commemorative Famine Sculptures on Custom House Quay. The original Jeanie Johnston was built in 1847 on the banks of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec City, Canada. Its architect was the Scottish-born shipbuilder and master craftsman John Munn. The 408 ton cargo ship was purchased in Liverpool by John Donovan and Sons of Tralee, Co.Kerry. As the famine gripped Ireland, the company ran a successful trade bringing emigrants from Ireland to North America and returning with timbers bound for the ports of Europe. The Jeanie Johnston made her maiden voyage on 24th April 1848 from Blennerville, Co. Kerry to Quebec with 193 passengers on board. Over the next seven years the ship made 16 voyages to North America carrying over 2,500 emigrants safely to the New World. Despite the seven week journey in very cramped and difficult conditions, no life was ever lost on board the ship - a remarkable achievement which is generally attributed to the ship's captain, Castletownshend-born James Attridge and the experienced Ship's Doctor, Dr Richard Blennerhassett. |
