Cobh

Cobh

The colourful port city of Cobh is located in the middle of Cork Harbour on Great Island. The cityscape is dominated by the cathedral St. Colman’s Church and its over 90 meter high tower. The port of Cobh has a turbulent past. During the Great Famine (1845-51), it was the main hub for all those who left Ireland in great need. In Cobh, about two million people boarded one of the ships that were to bring them to America or Australia. The first transatlantic steamship began crossing the Atlantic here (1838) and the Titanic also stopped here for its last shore leave before embarking on its tragic journey into the history books.
