I had wanted for some time to visit Middleton to see this sculpture , having read how the Choctaw Indians , hearing of the Great Hunger in Ireland in 1847, managed to raise $170 ( a huge sum in those days) & sent it to help relieve the suffering. They themselves had been dispossessed of their sacred lands & forcibly moved to Oklahoma during one of the harshest winters on record , & many of them had died en route. In spite of their own suffering , they had the generosity & kindness of spirit to remember the starving Irish & this monument is a fitting tribute to them. It is really beautiful & the stainless steel feathers reflect the colours of the sun as the light changes. It is situated in Bailic Park off the East Cork Parkway N25 , turn off at the L 3621 & it’s right beside you. Congratulations & well done to the Irish artist Alex Pentek for this fitting tribute to those Choctaw Indians.

If you walk down to the Liner Terminal or the Museum, you will find this beautiful memorial to the first person who left these shores and landed on the newly-opened Ellis Island terminal in New York. Annie Moore is a symbol of the countless thousands who left our shores, sometimes as prisoners, other times as emigrants, but all essentially never to return!

The striking statue may make people think from a distance that it is a memorial of the Titanic. However, on getting closer you realise that it is in fact for the Lusitania. It is a reminder of that tragedy.

This is a stunning sculpture full of beauty and respect made with deep gratitude for the Chocktaw people to commemorate their great act of kindness to the destitute people of Ireland during the Famine.

Kilmichael Ambush site is an important historical feature in Ireland. It is very well laid out with story boards and indicators. The events are told in a truthful way while giving the visitor a clear honest account of part of our history. A most enjoyable visit.

We were trying to find a road down from Cuskinny to Cobh and I miraculously found this gem. It is a lovely garden with many boards with information and all the names of those who entered The Titantic via Queenstown/Cobh. There were lovely seats too and if the day was nicer, it would a pleasant stop to look out at Cork Harbour.
