Familiarity known as Cork Harbor, upon
the banks of which Queenstown is
built Is the safest in the world, and
affords sure protection to craft of all
kinds. The Cove extends to Cork twelve
miles and was noted long before this
place was ever thought of. In DAYS |
gone by, all sea craft could enter the |
Cove and be protected from the terrific |
storms and gales which not unfreauentIv |

hundreds and thousands who go with
