2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the Titanic’s maiden voyage. Cobh, then Queenstown, was the Titanic’s last port of call. 123 passengers boarded the magnificent vessel in a bid to journey to the new world. For the last century the world has been intrigued with the story of the largest passenger liner at the time and the vessel that many thought was unsinkable.
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Titanic’s journey and to remember and pay tribute to all who have been involved with her, Cobh in County Cork, Ireland, will play host to a memorable series of events. This event series – Titanic 100 Cobh 2012, will include many and varied events and will appeal to a wide audience.
Hopkins Communications handled the public/media relations for the Titanic 100 Cobh commemoration over several months in 2012, securing extensive coverage of the visit to Cobh of The President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins and his wife Sabina, the acclaimed concert series An Irish Connection and noteworthy events.
“The media coverage of Titanic100 Cobh 2012 was spectacular. Cobh is certainly fully on the map again” – Redmond O’Donoghue, Chairman, Fáilte Ireland.
