Cobh, Ireland
Today is Tuesday, March 19, 2019; we took a train from Cork to Cobh to visit the town of Cobh and see the Titanic Museum.
It is still winter in Ireland, not a lot of tourists in town - the cruise ships are not here yet.
We walked by the Cobh museum.
This is the view from the back of St. Colman's Cathedral.
St Colman's Cathedral was holding 10:00 am mass, I did not take photos of the interior, but it was quite beautiful and huge.
