Cobh (pronounced ‘cove’), on Great Island in Cork Harbour, was the Titanic’s final port of call on 11 April 1912 — 123 passengers boarded here and never returned. The Titanic Experience Cobh, in the original White Star Line ticket office on the quayside, tells their story with a boarding-pass that reveals whether ‘your’ passenger survived.
The town itself is a photogenic pastel-painted amphitheatre rising from the waterfront to the 91-metre spire of St Colman’s Cathedral (carillon concerts at noon on Sundays). The Cobh Heritage Centre (in the old Victorian railway station) covers the Irish emigration story from Cobh — 6 million people left Ireland through this port. Reachable by direct train from Cork Kent station, 25 minutes.
