The Jeanie Johnston, a full-scale replica of a nineteenth-century emigrant ship, is moored on the north bank of the River Liffey in Dublin. The vessel commemorates the original Jeanie Johnston, which made multiple transatlantic voyages during the Irish Great Famine, carrying thousands of emigrants from Ireland to North America without loss of life. With its tall masts, rigging and traditional wooden hull, the ship forms a striking feature of the Dublin Docklands waterfront, contrasting historic maritime design with the modern office and residential developments of the IFSC and surrounding quays. The replica operates as a floating museum and educational attraction, offering insight into Ireland’s history of emigration and the experiences of famine-era passengers. Situated along one of Dublin’s busiest riverside routes, the Jeanie Johnston has become a recognised landmark and symbol of Irish resilience, memory and diaspora, frequently used to illustrate themes of migration, heritage, maritime history and national identity in Ireland.
