Cobh (Queenstown) Passenger Lists 1884-1966
Ocean Liner at Queenstown ca 1905. Colorized Postcard Postally Used 21 March 1905. GGA Image ID # 175525f5c9
The Port of Cobh, known from 1850 until 1920 as Queenstown, is a popular tourist seaport town on the south coast of County Cork, Ireland. Cobh is on the south side of Great Island in Cork Harbour.
All the great steamers between New York and Liverpool stop at Queenstown. On their eastward voyages, they leave passengers and quantities of mail, and when they go west, they stop to receive them.
The ocean greyhound does not enter the harbor, but is met outside by a small transport steamer, called the "tender," which conveys the mail and passengers to the landing.
Mail is shipped from Queenstown to Dublin and across the Irish Sea by a fast steamer and then transferred to an express train. In this way, mail reaches London a few hours earlier than it would if it went directly to Liverpool on the ocean liner and from there to London by rail.
