This morning woke to the sight of a dull and damp view of Cobh. This being the port close to Cork in southern Ireland.
After a rather disappointing breakfast in the Palm Dining Room our choice for today was to go ashore to visit the Cobh Heritage Museum just a short walk away.
Not our first visit to the museum but there’s still lots of interest. Cobh, being the port previously known as Queenstown, was the departure point for Irish emigration particularly to the United States, notably during the aftermath of the potato famine. Among the many varied displays whole sections, including collections of artefacts, were dedicated to the sinking’s of the Titanic and the Lusitania.
Return to the ship for the afternoon.
Dinner tonight In Sabatinis, an Italian themed restaurant, lots of pasta dishes and a deconstructed tiramisu for dessert.
