Dunbrody Famine Ship
Step on this tall ship and back in time to one of the most impactful events in Irish history: The Great Famine.
Overview
The Great Famine of Ireland (An Gorta Mór na hÉireann) was a devastating period of uncertainty, with thousands fleeing to North America and beyond aboard emigrant vessels like the Dunbrody.
Today, a replica ship rests amid Wexford's River Barrow. Visitors are invited to an interactive experience retracing this fraught journey across the Atlantic. Through costumed guides and live interpreters, you'll gain insight into the famine's lasting impact.
