About Cobh
A 25-minute drive southeast of Cork City takes visitors to the historic port of Cobh (formerly Queenstown). The town is famous as the last port of call of the doomed Titanic on its maiden voyage in 1912.
These days, it's still a favourite dock for cruise liners from around the world. Millions of Irish who emigrated to North America and elsewhere during the 1800s and 1900s departed from here, most never to return.
