Commemoration of the famine

Encounter the six life-size, emaciated sculptures that embody the victims of the Great Famine of 1845-1849. These powerful depictions, created by Rowan Gillespie, pay tribute to the 1 million who died and the 2 million who emigrated. In addition to these poignant statues, you'll discover the Jeanie Johnston Tallship, a symbol of hope and survival.
