Huge British frigate to pay a visit to Cork

ONE of the largest ships in the British Royal Navy is to call to Cork on Thursday to commemorate a tragedy which took place in Cork Harbour 100 years ago.

The frigate, HMS Richmond, is to berth at the city’s North Custom House Quay.

Security is expected to be tight for the arrival of the ship. Royal Navy vessels have docked before, but this is the largest ship to call to Cork for some time.
