Cobb is an island community with a reputation as the last port that many Irish emigrants visited.  From here they could take a ship to the United States.   They claim that up to 80% of the emigrants went through this port during the potato famine.  It also was the last port visited by the Titanic on its ill-faited inaugural voyage.
