Thought I would share comments from a friend as he is not tech savvy and his comments were too great not to be shared. They stopped in town on cruise ship about 7 years ago and he claims this is the best bar he has ever been to. They hit blarney castle in morning and then took taxi to the pub. He is grey haired and everyone thought he was the golfer John Daly. Singer was great and everyone had a great time and he dropped a few dollars buying rounds for many patrons. We have all made bucket lists during Covid because what else can you do now but dream. We have been too many places and a stop here while driving through Scotland, Ireland and England was on the top of his list. Just hope we get a chance to visit too.

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.
10. Old Church Cemetery

This graveyard is off the beaten track, but is one to recommend if you are visiting Cobh. There are three large graves for the victims of the Lusitania and lots of other graves including those who died in the Great War and World War II. It wasn't too busy and had lots of time to explore. There is also an old church on site and the oldest grave in the 1600's
