Port of Cork

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Hello my friends. I just came back from the city of Cork where I took some pictures in the centre and at the port area.
Information about cork from www.cork-guide.ie.
Cork City is Ireland's third city (after Dublin and Belfast) and has always been an important seaport. It began as an island in the swampy estuary of the River Lee (the name Corcaigh means a marsh), and gradually climbed up the steep banks on either side. Today the river flows through Cork city in two main channels, so that you find yourself constantly crossing bridges. Some of the main streets are built over channels where ships anchored a century ago. Along the South Mall, you will see large gateways at street level, under steps leading to a higher main door. These were once boathouses, when merchants arrived at their warehouses by water. |
