Cobh invites public to mark the 110th anniversary of Titanic disaster

In April, 1912 the RMS Titanic called to the port of Cobh on her maiden voyage.  Three days later the liner struck an iceberg. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died.

A Cork Harbour town which was the last port of the call for the doomed Titanic will mark the 110th anniversary of the tragedy early next month with its first public commemoration of the disaster since the pandemic.

Organisers of the event in Cobh have now issued an open invitation to the public to gather in the town on April 10 to remember all those who died when the liner sank on her maiden voyage to New York in 1912.
