Cobh was known as Queenstown
for some decades before reverting
to its old Irish name in 1922 - the
Cobh (cove) of Cork. Is there
anywhere in Ireland more full of
poignant memories than this
embarkation point for America?
From here hundreds of thousands
of mostly hungry and penniless
Irish men and women left to build a
new life, especially in the Famine
years of 1844-48. Many thrived
and prospered, but many died on
the journey in the terrible travelling
conditions of the time.The Titanic
sailed from here in 1912.
