Cobh
Cobh, known from 1850 until 1920 as Queenstown, is a popular tourist seaport town on the south coast of County Cork, Ireland. Cobh is on the south side of Great Island in Cork Harbour and almost 100,000 cruise liner passengers and crew arrive in the town each year when their ships berth right in the centre of the town at Ireland's only dedicated Cruise Terminal. Tourist attractions are focused on the immense maritime and emigration legacy of the town. The Queenstown Story Heritage Centre, Titanic Experience, Titanic Trail walking tour, Cobh Museum, Cobh Road Train, Spike Island tours and St Colman's Cathedral provide plenty for visitors to see and do. The town has remained virtually unchanged since RMS Titanic departed from Cork Harbour in 1912, with the streetscape and piers still much the same. Facing the town are Spike Island and Haulbowline Island. On a high point in the town stands the magnificent St Colman's Cathedral, and its carillon of forty-nine bells. The port, which has had several Irish-language names, was first called "Cove" in 1750. It was renamed "Queenstown" in 1850 to commemorate a visit by Queen Victoria. This remained the town's name until 1920, when it was renamed Cobh by the new authorities of the Irish Free State. Cobh is a Gaelicisation of the English name Cove and has no meaning in the Irish language.
Editors Contribution
COBH
COBH is the made up word in Gaelic from the original name COVE and is pronounced simply as "COVE" . Our English masters changed it to Queenstown at an earlier time. After Independence, the Irish local authorities changed it back to Cove but put a twist to it using the Gaelic spelling for the same sound in English. The four voices of American, British etc have all sounded the word incorrectly that is COB H. This is exactly why the Irish authorities did this play on words, making sure that everyone but the Irish people got it wrong , especially the English !
