The Jeannie Johnston is one of the original boats that travelled to America, Australia and other places. Apparently there was a doctor on board so everyone that travelled on this boat survivedNot all were so lucky.................
These statues are replicated in Boston's harbor representing the many Irish emigrants who survived the voyage. The child replicated here on the man's back, did not make it to the boat. These statues are amazing to see for real.
The famine of the 1840s will never be forgotten. However, potatoes are not the money maker now. In Scotland and Ireland, there are twice as many sheep as there are people.
