Young, single women contributed heavily to Irish emigration and there were many eighteen-year-olds travelling alone on board the Jeanie Johnston.

A High School student group from Katedralskole in Denmark at our Dublin Literary Walking Tour. We understand that the first Danish resistance group during World War II – Churchill-klubben – consisted of pupils from this school, the oldest in North Jutland.

Interesting fact, this photo was taken in Dublin Castle - where Bram Stoker and his father worked - and at the very yard where the British Empire handed over Dublin Castle to the newly-independent Irish State, marking the end of the British presence in Ireland.
