Picto Diary - 15 September 2019 - Cobh

Above: TIMDT walks toward cruise ship, Seabourn Ovation. Cobh, County Cork, Ireland. 15 September 2019.

On 14 April 1912, anchored a quarter mile away in the harbor, RMS Titanic awaited boarding passengers and fright pending its final push to New York. Cobh, then Queenstown, was the final port of call for the Titanic before she was sunk by an iceberg two days later, on 14 April 1912, in the north Atlantic Ocean,

RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner that was sunk on 7 May 1915 by a German U-boat eleven miles off Cobh (then Queenstown), Ireland. The sinking presaged the United States declaration of war on Germany two years later. Survivors and deceased from the Lusitania were brought to Queenstown directly after the tragedy.

We were in Cobh in May of this year. We saw most of the sights then, so we decided to get in some steps around the harbor and into the town. Cobh, along with Dublin, are the only two Ireland stops the Seabourn Ovation will make on this cruise... Dublin to Dublin. We join friends Hoops and Bronx Girl on this cruise.

Addendum:
