Now’s your chance to follow in their footsteps, exploring the tenants’ experience of hunger, eviction, and exile, through voluntary and assisted migration.
“Steve was friendly, very informative and entertaining. In all of my visits to Dublin I’ve never managed to make time to see the Jeanie Johnston and I’m so glad I did. I learned a lot about the famine and an important part of Irish history and enjoyed exploring the ship. Thank you, Steve! ”

“Can't say enough about our tour. On the deck, our guide talked about the events that led to the large emigration in the mid-19th century. Below deck, the guide talked about life on the ship and why everyone (100%!) survived the Jeanie's passages. Definitely recommend the tour. Book in advance!” ”
