Cóbh

Cobh known as Queenstown from 1849 to 1920, is a tourist seaport town on the south coast of County Cork, Ireland. Cobh is situated on the south side of Great Island in Cork Harbour and home to one of Ireland's only dedicated cruise terminals.

Tourism in the area draws on the maritime and emigration legacy of the town. It was associated with the RMS Titanic, which was built in Belfast and recovery of the victims of the RMS Lusitania which was torpedoed off Kinsale a few miles away.

Facing the town are Spike Island and Haulbowline Island. On a high point in the town stands the cathedral church of the diocese of Cloyne, St Colman's, which is one of the tallest buildings in Ireland.
