Is there any information about where ships (mainly the Olympic class) may have moored in Cobh and Cherbourg? I have found this topic hard to find answers to, and I feel like this would be the right place to ask.

Hello forum members, Question: did Frank Browne take the tender Ireland or the tender America to Queentown’s harbour? On page 94 of the book Father Browne’s Titanic Album the America is mentioned, but I doubt whether that’s correct. One of the last photos Frank included in his famous album was...

According to this advertisement from the New York Times, the itinerary for Olympic and Titanic's return trips to Southampton consisted of the same destinations as the voyage to New York, with one exception: both ships were to stop in Plymouth instead of Queenstown. What was it about Plymouth...

THE 110th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic will be commemorated at a special event in Cobh next month. https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/arid-40835132.html

Would that have delayed the departure?

Does anyone know who took these pictures and if they are really pictures of passengers boarding the Titanic? The first picture allegedly shows second class passengers who are about to board the Titanic. The second picture allegedly shows third class passengers during their medical examination...

Titanic's last port of call was Queenstown (now Cobh) Ireland. (Cobh is pronounced "cove".) I visited Cobh about 15 years ago - it has some interesting things to visit that are Titanic related. One interesting site, which isn't related to Titanic, that I didn't know about is Spike Island. It is...

I was wondering, if Francis Browne decided not to leave the ship at Queenstown (now Cork), what do you think would have happened to him and his photographs if he was on board during the sinking? Here are some scenarios that I have thought of. Scenario 1 (Best Outcome): Francis Browne survives...

Titanic left Queenstown at April 11 in 1912. Between 2.20 pm. and 5 pm. she was on the way between Daunt Rock and Fastnet Rock. I want to know the strengh and direction of the tidal stream at this time. Firstly I looked up the times of the moon phase with a moon phase calculator: moon phases...

I have seen a photograph online in a number of sites of Margaret Rice and her 5 sons. I am working on a website for the Northern Ireland Tourist Board at the moment and I am filming a piece on the Last Port Of Call in Cobh (Queenstown) next week. I am looking for the person to contact in regards...

How long was the Titanic's voyage expected to take? I'm doing some research and am having trouble finding out how long the voyage from Queenstown Ireland to Ellis Island New York took around the same time that Titanic sailed. The ships I'm researching are actually the Caronia I and the Oceanic...

Re: Cobh Memorial This is actually a statue of Annie Moore and her two brothers who were the first immigrangts to be processed at the Ellis Island arrival station in New York Harbor. They left from Cobh and there is an identical statue of them in Ellis Island.

I would like to visit Cobh in Ireland for a couple of days. I life near London but would rather not fly. Has anyone else done this trip and if so, would you be kind enough to suggest a good way to get there and a decent hotel? Many thanks in advance!

I've been to Southampton. Is there anything still Titanic-related in Cherbourg and Cobh (Queenstown)?

Hey all, just wondering if Titanic passed within visual sighting distance of any other ships following its departure from Queenstown (i.e. on the open sea)??? Ye know - like "ships passing in the night". Did she swop signals with these ships? It feels kinda comforting when you sight other...

I received word that the Titanic Restaurant, in Cobh, is set to re-open. For anyone planning an Ireland get-together, this is a must-visit.

Hopefully someone can clear the following up for me. I have always been under the impression that the Lusitania`s final destination was to be Liverpool. However, some have claimed that the ship received a wireless message for the ship to divert into Queenstown. Apparently this had happened to...

[On 5 April 1885, Germanic encountered heavy seas which resulted in one death, numerous injuries and significant damge to the ship; as a result, she became the first White Star steamer to return to port because of a weather-related incident. This article appeared two weeks later.] The...
