=== Shipbuilding === A significant shipbuilding industry was developed in the town. The remnants of the [[Verolme Cork Dockyard|Verolme Shipyard]] today maintain many of the original cranes and hoists now forming part of industrial and maritime heritage. [[File:Cobhpier 0360.JPG|thumb|The original pier (as it appeared in 2007) where passengers boarded tenders to the ''Titanic'' at its anchorage near the mouth of the harbour. The corner of the office building of the White Star Line can be seen on the right. The building today houses a ''Titanic'' museum.]] The age of steam brought Cobh association with several milestones, including the first [[steam ship]] to sail from Ireland to England (1821) and the first steamship to cross the Atlantic (''Sirius'' 1838), which sailed from [[Passage West]].
