Lusitania service highlight of Cork harbour festival

CUNARD’S newest luxury ocean liner, the MV Queen Elizabeth, will make its maiden call to the Port of Cork today and join in a special celebration.

The vessel’s captain will lead a Lusitania memorial service which has been organised by Cunard and the Port of Cork to coincide with the Cork Harbour Open Day.

It is just one of dozens of events taking place on the day in the world’s second largest natural harbour, and a free ferry shuttle service will help people experience all the wonders it has to offer — both on and off the water.
