Famine ship to sail despite difficulties

A REPLICA Famine ship which yesterday began its sea trials ahead of the Tall Ships Race in Waterford next week has experienced technical difficulties.

However, those behind the project insist it will be ready for her maiden voyage on Tuesday next.

A sail today out of Wexford for the replica 19th Century Dunbrody Famine Ship was cancelled last night to allow for a second sea trial and works.
