Cobh Heritage Centre – The Queenstown Story
Cobh Heritage Centre
Housed in the Victorian railway station of 1862, telling the port's story of emigrants, convict ships, the Titanic, and the Lusitania.
The Cobh Heritage Centre is located inside the Victorian railway station built in 1862. Its exhibition, The Queenstown Story, covers the emigrants of the Great Famine, the convict ships bound for Australia, the age of transatlantic liners, and the links between Cobh and the Titanic and Lusitania. It also recreates the cramped quarters of an emigrant ship. There is a genealogy research centre to help descendants of Irish emigrants trace their roots. Admission is about 11 euros, and it is open roughly 9:30 to 17:30. The commuter train station is right at the entrance, so you can step off the train and walk straight in.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:30–17:30
