Why Cobh matters
Cobh climbs a hill above one of the biggest natural harbours in the world. Rows of brightly painted houses lead up to a tall Gothic cathedral. The town was the last port of call for the Titanic, and for many emigrants it was the last sight of Ireland. A short train ride from Cork.
Talking points
- The Titanic made her final stop here.
