Titanic

Memorial for the Titanic in Cobh

It is 100 years today since the Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg. It only took 40 minutes for the great ship to sink. There have been lots of memorial services in Ireland - especially in Belfast, where she was built and Cobh which was the ships last port of call.
We visited the Cobh museum when we went to Ireland a few years ago and Jerry and I walked round the Titanic exhibition - it was very moving reading the story of those who set sail on the ship hoping for a better life.


Cobh - formally Queenstown
