Jeanie Johnston

Journaling: Originally meant to haul non-living cargo, the Jeanie Johnston became famous for helping desperate Irish families escape during the Great Famine. Between 1848 and 1855, the ship made 16 voyages to North America, sailing to Canada and the US. On average, the length of the transatlantic journey was 47 days. The most passengers she ever carried was 254. To put this number in perspective, the replica ship is only licensed to carry 40 people including crew. I used Grandma’s Steamer Ship and Blue Jeans and Lemonade by KK and Shadow Styles by SNU. Font is Bohemian Typewriter.

The stories of those gritty and desperate immigrants are almost unbelievable, except that we hear them over and over. "Determined" is the right word! I love how you put this page together and especially the paper layers and bits of ephemera you added.

It always amazes me how small these historic ships are in relationship to how I imagined. Your embellishments and paper stack are so nostalgic. That trunk is incredible.
