My Daily Post - Unusual architecture in the last Titanic's port

“Deck of Cards” houses in Cobh, Ireland(pronounced Cove).

Cobh Ireland (pronounced Cove) is just a 20-minute train ride from Cork city, and is perhaps one of the most unique towns I’ve had the opportunity to visit. Not only are the vibrant colors appealing to the eye; the seaport is full of soul and rich history.

Formerly known as Queenstown until 1920, Cobh is a historic gem of Ireland. 2.5 of the 6 million Irish immigrated to North America through Cobh, including Annie Moore, who was the first person to be processed on Ellis Island.

And of course, the Titanic is what gives Cobh its name to fame. Queenstown was the last stop before the legend sailed its fate, only to be swallowed by the Atlantic within a day.
