Speculation surrounds the future of Cobh’s Titanic pier — the last piece of terra firma on which stood the 123 passengers who boarded the ill-fated liner in April 1912.

Tommy Barker visits a gem in a gentle curving terrace in Cobh which boasts a sweep of scenic harbour views.

THE Lusitania liner took just under 20 minutes to sink off the coast of Cork 95 years ago this month, but the memory of the devastating loss of over 1,100 people continues to live on in Cobh where remembrance wreaths were placed on mass graves at a cemetery in the town yesterday afternoon.
