If you visit the Jeanie Johnston Tall Ship and Famine Museum, you can expect to experience a combination of historical education and maritime exploration. One of the highlights is the guided tours led by knowledgeable staff or docents. These tours provide detailed information about the ship's history, its role during the Great Famine, and the experiences of the Irish emigrants who traveled on similar vessels.
The museum features interactive exhibits, displays, or multimedia presentations that help bring history to life. These exhibits may include stories of individual emigrants, details about the ship's construction, and insights into the conditions aboard during transatlantic voyages.
Visitors also have the opportunity to explore the various parts of the tall ship, including the deck, cabins, and cargo areas. This firsthand look provides a glimpse into the living conditions and challenges faced by the people who sailed on similar vessels in the 19th century
