Description
This is something I don't see in my everyday life, a ship in the city! I might see a canoe or kayak or even a row boat, just not a sailing ship. But I am in Dublin and not the Midwest so this isn't unusual. The Jeanie Johnston was built in 1847 Quebec Canada and made 16 crossing from Tralee to Canada and back from 1848 to 1855 transporting people due to the famine. The ship then started shipping cargo for which she was built. In 1858 on a trip from Hull England to Canada she sank but all aboard were save. The replicate anchored in Dublin was a 6 year project completed in 2002.
