Then we drove to Cobh [pronounced Cove] which is near Cork.
We had a wonderful tour of the city and visited a Titanic museum. Cobh, formerly known as Queenstown was the last stop of the Titanic before her ill fated voyage.

Pier where 123 unfortunate souls boarded shuttle tenders for the Titanic.
A few lucky souls got off the ship in Cobh. We visited the White Star
