Considering that Cobh(Queenstown), one of the planet’s most exceptional natural harbours, was the departure point for countless individuals from Ireland’s history, there are numerous poignant and historical narratives of The Queenstown Story to explore. Over three million Irish citizens embarked from this harbor town seeking a fresh start.
The exhibits creatively cover a gamut of topics ranging from the tragedies of the Titanic and The Lusitania, the forced labor inflicted upon the forgotten Irish during the Cromwellian era to the West Indies and American Colonies, to the tales of emigration to Canada and North America. These displays are presented in an array of contemporary, pleasing and artistic formats.
