Summary

[edit]
Description

The JEANIE JOHNSTON is a remarkable replica of the original Janie Johnston ship which was built in Quebec in 1847 and carried Irish emigrants, in Famine times, from Tralee, County Kerry to the United States and Canada.

The story of the Jeanie Johnston is the story of one of the momentous periods in Irish history - the era of the Great Famine that swept the country in the middle of the 19th century.

The reborn JEANIE JOHNSTON is a 19th century replica built to 21st century marine safety standards.Some concessions have been made to modernity, but these, as far as is practicable, have been cleverly concealed within the traditional 19th century timber hull. The top and ‘tween decks are the "museum areas" while the lower deck or hold (used for storage of ballast in the original vessel) contains twin Caterpillar engineers, a bow thruster, electric generators, a desalination plant, 3-phase sewage treatment works, toilets and showers. The ship complies with Irish Department of the Marine and US Coastguard Regulations and is equipped to navigate rivers and large canals.

The original JEANIE JOHNSTON carried 200 passengers and 17 crew – the 21st century replica is licensed to carry 40 people to sea.
