Over two-and-a-half million emigrants have left Ireland for good via Cobh. Among them, Annie Moore, the first person ever to be processed at Ellis Island in New York when it officially opened in 1892. The Cobh Heritage Centre tells their story, from the Great Famine they fled from to the new world they fled to, and the difficult journey in between. Displays cover life on board the so-called coffin ships, the much later ocean liners, and the Titanic, whose last port of call was Cobh.
