Leaving our B&B, we traveled to Cobh and visited St. Colman's Cathedral. The style of architecture is French Gothic and it was built in the form of a Latin Cross. The exterior is of Dalkey Granite with dressings of Mallow limestone. (I got all this information from the pamphlet at the cathedral.)

From 1848 to 1950, over 6 million adults and children emigrated from Ireland. About 2.5 million left from Cobh as a result of poverty, crop failures, and other reasons. Many of the emigrants went to British North America (now Canada) because of fare structures and government regulations. But the majority settled in the United States.

After leaving Cobh, we headed for Dublin. We visited the Guinness Brewery and took a tour. It is very interesting how they make Guinness.
