The Queenstown Story @ Cobh Heritage Centre , Grandi storie di emigrazione.
Descrizione
Con una storia così ricca, un patrimonio e una storia da raccontare, un viaggio a The Queenstown Story @ Cobh Heritage Centre è un must. Questo bellissimo centro culturale informativo è situato in modo inventivo all'interno della stazione ferroviaria vittoriana restaurata di Cobh, un edificio che conserva la sua storia storica. Dato che così tanti irlandesi del passato hanno viaggiato attraverso Cobh (Queenstown), uno dei porti naturali più belli del mondo, i visitatori possono imparare racconti storici ed emozionanti di The Queenstown Story, dove oltre tre milioni di irlandesi emigrarono da questa città portuale in cerca di una nuova vita. Tutto, dal naufragio del Titanic e del Lusitania, al trasporto degli irlandesi dimenticati che hanno sopportato i lavori forzati in epoca cromwelliana alle Indie occidentali e alle colonie americane, così come le storie di emigrazione in Canada e Nord America, è esposto in modo inventivo in una varietà di modi moderni, di gusto e artistici. Rilassati, e "Cammina sulle orme dei nostri antenati emigranti"

This absolutely is unmissable experience, we enjoyed every minute of it. There is a great range of Irish history to learn about. It is beautifully and very thoughtfully laid out. Lovely personal stories from travellers. It is also very accessible. When we are back in the area will come back and visit again. Well done we loved it. Thank you Marian and Fiona

Dear Laurent, Merci pour votre aimable commentaire ; nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié votre visite. Breda
Brilliant exhibition, the information about the emigration was so detailed and the footage of all the ships was spectacular. Well done
Hi Jennifer, Thank you so much fro your kind words, we are delighted that you enjoyed your experience here. From all the team here, thank you for the 5 star review.
This is a small but well done museum. You leaned about the famine and the Titanic in one stop. We visited in early May by cruise ship and we probably didn't need to get tickets ahead of time. We never saw a long line to get tickets and didn't see a "skip the line" entry if you already had tickets. We still needed to go to the ticket counter even with our prepaid ticket. Don't have any regrets though.
Dear Ann, Thank you for visiting and for your review. Thank you for your suggestion regarding a "skip the line" entry, it is something that we will certainly look at providing. Delighted you enjoyed your visit to us and that you didn't have too long a wait. Regards, Breda
3.5 million Irish people sought a better life elsewhere but many died in poor conditions on ships and never reached their destinations. Also covered the story of the Titanic and other great ships of that time.
Thank you for visiting and for taking the time to write a review, we appreciate your support.
Excellent heritage centre with really useful and informative displays. Bought to life with great use of film footage, black and white imagery.
Hi KDR, Thank you for visiting and for your lovely feedback. We're glad that you enjoyed your viist. Breda
The Heritage Ctr. was right on the dock and easy to locate. The individual stories were heartbreaking, but with the well done exhibits, brought them to life. Being given a ticket for a specific passenger made it even more interesting. We highly recommend the experience!
This place is a must when you visit Cobh, loads inside, information, toilets , gift shop , cafe , and the Queens town story self guided tour, it cost €15 per adult our child was free. It tells you story of the Titanic and irish emigration it was very interesting we'll worth the money. Staff were very friendly, it is free to go in you only pay if you do the tour, if you want to go cafe etc it's free.
Hi DonnaC, Thank you for your lovely feedback andfor sharing your information with others. So glad that you enjoyed your visit with us and thank you for your kind words about our team here. Breda
A really good museum, right in the centre of town. A great insight into the history of this town specifically and Ireland more broadly.
Hi Will, Thank you for your review, great to read that you enjoyed your visit. There is so much history in the town of Cobh, formally Queenstown and we're so proud to showcase this in the context of the broader history of Ireland. Breda
Wow the geneology review by Christy Keating at the Cobh Heritage Museum was a high point for both my sister and me. Christy worked very hard going through records to find my brother in law's Irish roots and so we went back later in the week for him to review our family. He is a delight and makes the search for your Irish roots really fun!I The museum was great too and we n=bought some Aran knits at the store there and had some warm hot chocolate in the cafe. A lovely cold day spent in COBH! We rented a taxi to show us the town in 2 hours and that was a wonderful experience too! Wonderful people and great place!
Hi Kimberly, Thank you the lovely review you wrote following your visit with the genealogist Christy. we're glad that he was able to help you in your research.
