Artist's Comments

"Cobh, Cork was the last port of call of RMS Titanic which anchored at the mouth of the harbour on April 11th 1912. It was from here that the ship weighed anchor for the last time and sailed west towards her tragic fate in the icy waters of the North Atlantic. One hundred and twenty three passengers left form Cobh.
At this time though Cobh was still called Queenstown. When Queen Victoria visited Ireland for the first time in 1849 it was at Cobh she first stepped ashore. The town was renamed Queenstown from then. However following Irish Independence from Britain in 1920, it was renamed Cobh which is an Irish language word for Cove and is pronounced the same."
