I wish we had more time to see Cobh when we were there, but we spent most of our time at a former railway station that houses the wonderful Cobh Heritage Center, which houses exhibits about the ship passengers who sailed from Cobh. It's at a very narrow part of the harbor. Moored alongside was the most extravagant yacht I've ever seen in my life. It had a helicopter on deck.
But I just had to say that the Heritage Center says the community has had three names: Cobh, Queenstown, and Cove. Tattie Bogle, please permit me to gloat....

Well, it was Julia's transcription, so she is the one who is vindicated.
