The Tall Ship Dunbrody
Irelands Unique Tall Ship Construction
The project involves the construction of a full scale sea-going
replica of Dunbrody, a three masted barque, originally built in Quebec, Canada for the
Graves Family of New Ross in 1845. Dunbrody carried many emigrants to the New World from
1845 to 1870.
The Dunbrody will house an educational exhibition re-enacting life on board the ship as
she carried her passengers from New Ross to the US and Canada in the middle of the last
century. It will tell the history
and explore what they did and how they contributed to the growth
of their new country.
