Ireland

Did you know that you can watch where your friends or family go when they are on a cruise?

After four days of being at sea in the Atlantic Ocean Emerald Princess Cruise Ship made it to their first destination.... Cobh, Ireland


Queenstown it was before it reverted back to it's old Irish name in 1922....the Cobh (cove) of Cork.

Cobh is situated on Great Island, one of the three large islands in the Cork Harbour which are now joined together by roads and bridges. Little Island and Fota are the other Islands. The Harbour is one of the largest and safest anywhere.

It is a pleasant town where the streets climb the steep slope of a hill and at the top of which is crowned by the very fine St. Coleman's Cathedral.... which has a carillon of 47 bells.
