    no liners if that's what you mean.

    there's a german research vessel at the deepwater quay though - Walther Herwig III.

    We had a nice day in Cobh, lovely weather. We had a look at the ship and other boats and had an icecream cone from the shop on the corner with the red front that featured in the Fergal Quinn revamp show, it looked bigger on telly. Traffic was at crawl untill after Fota, I think there was a plant show on there. :)

    No liners in today. Check out the port of cork website that gives the cruise schedule - http://www.portofcork.ie/index.cfm/page/cruiseschedule2010

    If you are planning to come to Cobh, there's a new Titanic exhibition thats recently opened. I havent managed to get in there yet but have heard great feedback. Its in the old White Star Line office (recently enough it was the GPO). Heres the website http://www.titanicexperiencecobh.ie/
