Kinsale is located on the southern coast of Ireland and is the site of two important ocean disasters. First, when the RMS Lusitania was sunk by a German U-boat on May 7, 1915, some of the bodies and survivors were brought to Kinsale and the subsequent inquest on the bodies recovered was held in the town's courthouse. A statue in the harbour commemorates the effort.
The second is this was not only where the Titanic we made, but also the last port of call for the Titanic before she set sail to sea.
From this port is also where many immigrants left from to America. We see below a lovely commemorative statue to Annie Moore who was the first immigrant to the United States to pass through the Ellis Island facility in New York Harbor.
