 Cobh
  • Cobh is a picturesque town on the eastern side of Cork Harbour about 15 miles (24 KM) from Cork city.
  • It is an important Irish port of call for cruise liners; as they can enter the harbour. Passengers have a fine view of the town with its houses rising on a terraced hillside beneath the towering form of St Colman's Cathedral.
  • In 1849 the town of Cobh was renamed 'Queenstown' due to a visit from Queen Victoria, but was later renamed 'Cobh' around 1922.
  • Cobh is probably best known as the departure point for up to 2.5 million Irish people who emmigrated to America around the start of the 19th century. The port  was in fact, the last stop for the doomed Titanic before it set sail across the Atlantic.
  • Visitors to Cobh can trace all aspects of Cobh's seafaring history at the excellent The Queenstown Story.
