Cobh, formally known as Queenstown, is the famous embarkation and departure point for many the great transatlantic liners, and as the point of emigration for many Irish citizens, from Ireland, to the United States.

It was also the last port of call of the Titanic. All aspects of this history can be explored through the Cobh Heritage Centre located next door, the Titanic Trial, which departs daily, and St. Coleman's Cathedral.
