Cove, also known as Queenstown, in
addition to being the last
passenger port before the crash of the Titanic introduced last time,
is also an important port where
the
Irish were once
exiled . The main pillar industry of the husband is tourism. There are hundreds of oil tankers docked
here every summer.
The most conspicuous thing in the center of the town is the
towering
91.4-meter-high Cove Church, the tallest church in Ireland. It
was built in 1868
for the purpose of It was built in memory of the bishop at that time, Colmán. The row behind
me is the
very famous house of cards in Cove,
just a row of cards.
If you search Cove on Google, the picture
you see most is this one.
I'm going now. Get the right angle
and go take this picture
Welcome to Spike island
Spike island was home to a monastery in the early days
and its
strategic location was so important at the entrance to Cork Harbour that the
government leased the island in 1770 and
converted it into a fortification The fortress
was later opened as a prison in 1847. It
used to house criminals
and more and more thieves
during the Great Famine. At its peak, it held more than 1,400 people.
In the mid-19th century,
it
was the largest prison in the British Empire. Alcatraz, Ireland
In modern times the island has been a prison and military base
. It was used as a correctional facility for juvenile offenders in the late 20th century.
Prisoners rioted on September 1,
1985. One of the accommodation blocks, Block A, caught fire
. The cells of the juvenile prison were closed in 2004.
I Now the row behind
it was the main place where criminals were held at that time,
and then after a riot, this place was all burned down. I
just introduced that this place was for prisoners,
and then turned to the red building next to it
, which was equivalent
to the place where the prison staff worked at that time
. There were some things that were stored in a mess, and
then everyone can see it.
It was also burned by fire,
but the reason for this burning was that a prison guard
might have fallen asleep on the night shift
and accidentally knocked over the oil lamp
, and the oil lamp just lit all the
The information was all burned down here.
This was after the rebellion at that time,
and then it was messed up
. It is equivalent to the house I
am in now. After the fire over there,
it was changed to this one as a prison
. Now come in and have a look, let
everyone come in and see before The prison
is so cool.
It's quite modern here.
There are also hand-washing
toilets. At
that time, there were flush toilets
. I guess it used to be
that the prison guards could see the situation inside because it
was the gate . I was
shocked when I saw that person
I thought it was a real person
This is supposed to be a premium room
This is me, I am shocked
Don't tell me I used to watch TV
this is super cool
This is the old one
I suspect is the old one There are
some things drawn on it,
these are very real,
these are
some tools made by
the prisoners at that time. You can see that the one wrapped in socks is a hammer.
This knowledge point is actually
equivalent to many prison clubs. Do that tattoo
and then the tattoo will have it.
Generally, the tattoos of prison representatives are raindrops.
I only learned about the walking dead recently. It
said that there was a woman with raindrops on it.
Then these are
some tools for tattooing in the prison at that time. This one
I came in now The whole building is called the Punishment Room
and now this place is where the prison guards used to be. It's
a bit spooky.
Wow
, look, these are the old
handcuffs . How many years
and 7 years from
stealing from the church?
This
is the place to steal
cows. It took 7 years to steal cows.
This is the menu at that time. Can you guess what
this is?
This was weighed at that time.
This is a different one.
I can't escape.
This is the old passport.
I think Cork's words
give me a good impression.
Because it is small
and the city is built along the river, it
is very beautiful.
Then there are
storefronts in the city center. There are several strips
and then you can go to the local market in the city center. There are two
I just went to one of the more famous ones, the one that Grandma
Victoria went to.
There are many places to discover the life of the locals.
This place is worth visiting
and there is Cove behind me
Very beautiful town
about 30 minutes by train (from Cork)
every half hour
Very beautiful
