Moored at Custom House Quay along the River Liffey, this full-scale replica tall ship commemorates the thousands of Irish emigrants who fled the Great Famine. Between 1848 and 1855, the original vessel made sixteen transatlantic voyages carrying over 2,500 people to North America without losing a single life—an extraordinary feat. Guided tours lead visitors below deck to explore cramped bunks, lifelike figures, and personal histories.
Highlights
- Authentic full-scale replica of a 19th-century famine tall ship
- Incredible record of 16 Atlantic crossings without a single casualty
- Atmospheric below-deck tour featuring lifelike passenger figures
