Cobh

Formerly known as “Queenstown”. It was known as this for some seventy years before returning to its old Irish name in 1922 – the Cobh (cove) of Cork. There is nowhere in Ireland we can think of that has such an interconnection when it comes to immigration from Ireland to overseas. From here hundreds of thousands of desperate and poor Irish men and women left to start a new beginning, resulting in so many Irish people around the world today. Cobh situated on Great Island is such a beautiful town as its streets climb a huge slope of a hill on top of which is embellished by the outsanding St. Coleman’s Cathedral which overlooks the bay and the town itself. There are so many stories to be told about the aforementioned not to forget the stories of the famous Titanic and Lusitania as well.
