Cobh plans memorial garden to Titanic

A MEMORIAL garden featuring a large glass wall with all the names of those who boarded the Titanic on her ill-fated journey across the Atlantic is to be built in Cobh to mark the centenary of her sinking.

Cobh Town Council, in conjunction with Cobh Tourism Ltd, is to build the memorial garden at Bishop Roche Park, on the eastern side of the town.

A total of 123 men, women and children boarded the Titanic in April 1912 from Cobh, then known as Queenstown.
