Our final stop is the Cóbh Heritage Centre with its theme of famine, emigration and maritime histories of the Lusitania, which was torpedoed nearby at the Old Head of Kinsale and the Titanic for which Cóbh (then Queenstown) was its final port of call. Cóbh was the embarkation point for generations of Irish emigrants to the new worlds from famine times to recent years.
