This combo ticket pairs two of Dublin’s most powerful storytelling experiences, and together they cover one of the most significant chapters in Irish history. The Jeanie Johnston and EPIC sit within a short walk of each other in the Docklands, and the way they complement each other makes this package considerably more than the sum of its parts.
The Jeanie Johnston is a full-size replica of the tall ship that carried emigrants from Ireland to North America during the Great Famine. Known as “The Miracle Ship” because it never lost a single passenger across 16 voyages, the guided tour takes you below deck to the cramped quarters where families spent weeks at sea with little more than hope and a few belongings. It is a confronting, deeply human experience that puts you physically in the spaces where these journeys happened.
From the ship, you walk to EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum in the beautifully restored CHQ Building. Where the Jeanie Johnston tells you what people left behind, EPIC tells you what they built when they arrived. Twenty interactive galleries trace the Irish diaspora across the globe - the scientists, revolutionaries, artists, and adventurers who carried Ireland’s influence to every continent. The self-guided format lets you take your time, and the Irish Family History Centre on site is a valuable resource if you are tracing your own roots.
