In the south coast of Ireland very close to Cork there is a seaport that could be easily be known as ‘Titanictown’ since most of the shops, pubs and restaurants have reference to the famous British passenger liner. The name of this was until 1920 was Queenstown and its history is tied to the Titanic because this port was the last European port where it called before heading to New York and well you know the rest of the history. Last year I had the opportunity to visit this town 2 times and in one of my visits I took a picture of the old pier where the boats bringing the last passengers boarding the Titanic.
