We are on our way to Queenstown or Cobh, as the city is called today, which is the last stop for Alexanders and his company before the ocean steamer SS Alaska starts the journey to cross the Atlantic Ocean on her way to New York.

Here she will pick up emigrating Irishmen and mail. The city was also visited by RMS Titanic on her 19th-century trip.

The route for SS Alaska is the same!
