Is Jeanie Johnston Famine Ship worth it for history buffs?

Worth itFor history

For history & culture, Jeanie Johnston Famine Ship delivers.

A short, intimate guided tour aboard a beautiful tall-ship replica that vividly conveys the cramped horror of famine emigration. The honest catch: it's brief and tour-only, and as a replica rather than an original vessel, history purists may feel it's more re-enactment than artifact.
