Is Jeanie Johnston Famine Ship worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Jeanie Johnston Famine Ship earns the hours.

Allow 45 min–1 hour.

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.
