The Cobh Cultural Tour is a combination tour that includes the Titanic Trail Guided Walking Tour of Cobh and a self-guided visit to the Queenstown Story Heritage Centre. Combining both of these attractions will provide a unique insight into the broad maritime, social and military heritage of one of the most historical towns in Ireland.
The scheduled Titanic Trail Walking Tour will take approximately 1-hour and explores the many buildings and monuments of Cobh reflecting the rich maritime history of the town. Places and stories closely associated with events such as the final departure of Titanic's last passengers, the tide of emigration from Ireland and the sinking of the Lusitania will all be explored and explained from the fascinating doctoral level research of Michael Martin, author and creator of the tour.
The Queenstown Story Heritage Centre will trace the history of emigration to North America, the military presence in the harbour during the First World War, age of the great transatlantic liners and the dark period of 'convict' transport to Australia can be visited anytime between 10:00 and 16:00. Repeat visits to the centre will be permissible on the day of booking.
