Called 'coffin ships' due to their fatality rate, the leaky, smelly boats that hauled a generation of Irish emigrants to America are re-imagined on board this replica ship on the New Ross waterfront. The emigrants' sorrowful yet often inspiring stories are brought to life by costumed guides during 45-minute tours. A 10-minute introductory film provides historical background about the mid-19th-century Ireland they were leaving.
