Cork

Cork is Ireland’s second largest city, located on the south coast of Ireland.

Cork lies on the banks of the River Lee, which flows into Lough Mahon and then into Cork Harbour. Cork Harbour is one of the world’s largest harbours. Cobh in Cork harbour is famous for being the last port of call for the RMS Titanic. It didn’t make landfall, as the harbour was too shallow, but it was the last place that the RMS Titanic took on passengers. Cobh is a town in east county Cork.
