This place is called Cobh now and it looks almost exactly the same. It is also the last port ever visited by the Titanic before she headed out into the open Atlantic ocean (April 11, 1912).

Cobh was the departure point for 2.5 million of the six million Irish people who emigrated to North America between 1848 and 1950. These included Annie Moore and her two brothers – the first immigrants to be processed on Ellis Island in New York. On 11 April 1912 Queenstown was the final port of call for the RMS Titanic as she set out across the Atlantic on her ill-fated maiden voyage. The RMS Lusitania was sunk by a German U-Boat off the Old Head of Kinsale on May 7, 1915. The survivors were brought to the town of Cobh, and over one hundred victims lie buried in the Old Church Cemetery about a mile north of the town. The chilling last words of 19-year-old Jeremiah Burke from Glanmire, Co. Cork, were slipped into a bottle not read until a year after his death on the Titanic. Now, the emotional artifact is on display at Cobh Heritage Centre. Using the bottle of holy water that his mother gave to him when she saw him off in Cobh, Burke used one of his very own shoelaces to tie it up and threw the letter overboard. The letter simply reads: "From Titanic, goodbye all, Burke of Glanmire, Cork.”

Considering it's now a Benedictine Convent I'd say there are still no admirals to be seen.

Sharon Corbet Well done Sharon, so date is post 1886.

Closest I can get to a streetview.

Sharon Corbet I had thought I would be opening the "no longer there" album for this one, very happy that it can stay in built heritage.

A thing of beauty - proportioned and ample verandas with cast or wrought iron railings and a widows walk!
