Award-winning tourist experience

The Dunbrody Famine Ship is an award-winning tourist attraction centered on an authentic reproduction of an 1840s emigrant vessel. It provides a world-class interpretation of the experience of Irish people in a desperate situation traveling on a famine ship. You can also access a free database that recorded Irish, English, Scottish, and Welsh immigrants that arrived in the US ports during the famine years. This database was started in 2001 by the John F. Kennedy Trust in conjunction with the Balch Institute in Philadelphia, the Ellis Island Restoration Commission in New York, and the Battery Conservancy in New York. It also includes the Dunbrody Famine ship passenger list.
