I never knew of it's existence. I'd love to meander through this ship and remember her and what she endured. My gr gr gre grandmother Mary Duffy originated from Co Sligo. If only I could trace way back to find out more about her.
I worked on this lovely ship, during its early days of construction.
I saw this ship docked on the River Liffey in Dublin in 2014 when I was there. I knew very little about her other than that no one died on board. I wish now I had taken a tour of her.
Having previously sailed twice on this magnificent ship in Canada, how sad to see her rot away moored to the quay in the Dublin Docklands. If only she could have been bought by Parks Canada to sail between Quebec City and Grosse Isle, to continue her historic and emotional story...
I have sailed her to Spain and back. It's a national disgrace that she is not at sea. Ireland 20 years ago had two tall ships at sea, now we have none.
Excellent,
The Replica Jeanie was built (ie Keel laid) in Blennerville and finished off in Fenit. Tralee played host to the many builders but it was not built there as claimed in this video. The replicas first captain was Mike Forwood an englishman. John Griffin must also be mentioned because it was his vision to create the ship. Kerry's loss became Dublin's gain.
I working on the building of the ship when it was in Blennerville, Tralee, a lot more than the keel was laid in Blennerville, before it was taken on a barge to Fenit for being fitted out.
As Fenit is so close to Tralee, it's fair enough to say that it was built there. In fact you can see Fenit from Blennerville, across the water.
