Both a county & a city, Cork today is celebrated for its beauty & history. Blessed with one of the finest --and safest-- natural harbors in Europe, Cork has always been linked to the sea. Inhabited for at least four thousand years, the thriving trade in Cork copper linked Cork to mainland Europe during the Bronze Age. Much later, in the 9th century A.D., the Danes --Vikings-- battled for possession of Cork and the settlements around the harbor were burned and rebuilt numerous times. By the mid 19th century the city of Cork was second only to Dublin in size. In the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the twentieth century over two million Irish men, women and children boarded ships for America. - notes by Sarah Nagle
