Cobh, nestled on the southern coast of County Cork along the shores of Cork Harbour, is one of Ireland's most historic and poignant port towns. Known as Queenstown during British rule, this picturesque town was the final glimpse of Ireland for over 2.5 million emigrants who departed its shores between 1848 and 1950, including the first immigrant to pass through Ellis Island, Annie Moore, who left Cobh with her two younger brothers in 1891.

From its role as a major embarkation point for those seeking new lives across the Atlantic to its connection with the RMS Titanic's final port of call, Cobh holds stories of hope, heartbreak, and resilience. Its colorful Victorian houses cascade down steep hills toward the harbor, crowned by the magnificent St. Colman's Cathedral, creating one of Ireland's most striking streetscapes.
