Lonely Planet review for Jeanie Johnston

One of the city's most original tourist attractions is an exact working replica of a 19th-century 'coffin ship', as the sailing boats which transported starving emigrants away from Ireland during the Famine were gruesomely known. The good news is that this three-masted barque, originally built in Quebec in 1847, made 16 transatlantic voyages carrying more than 2500 people and never suffered a single death. A small museum on board details the harrowing plight of a typical journey, which usually took around 47 days.
