Jeanie Johnston Famine Ship

The Jeanie Johnston is an accurate replica of a famine ship which sailed from Ireland to America around the 1850's. 
 
It is currently docked in Dublin, Ireland where you can tour it and view it as a "ship musuem".
See here for more information.
 
Recently for St Patrick's day 2013 it was lit up green - like a lot of Dublin landmarks/buildings were. 
 
Here are two photographs I took of it:
 


On this photograph I put a green filter/effect on it. This means that the camera removes colour and just highlights any green in it. 
 
Pretty cool eh?!
