This seaport town (pronounced Cove) is situated on Cork Harbour's Great Island. It was briefly renamed Queenstown after a visit by Queen Victoria in 1849 and before Irish Independence in 1922. Once a major Trans-Atlantic embarkation point, Queenstown, famously, was to be Titanic's final destination. This touchstone with the past has inspired the Queenstown Story - a museum dedicated to its local links with the ill-fated liner, and many other ships that spirited millions of Irish people to North America during the Great Famine. Many made it, and many perished on these perilous Coffin Ship crossings. Other town highlights include St. Colman's Cathedral, Cobh Museum and the Old Church Cemetery where over 100 victims of the RMS Lusitania sinking are buried. Cobh lies 20km south-east of Cork.
