About the Show
It’s one of the largest natural harbours in the world – and those living near Cork Harbour insist that it’s also one of the most interesting.
This was the last port of call for the most famous liner in history, the Titanic, but it has been transformed into a centre for chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
Giraffe wander along its shores, from which tens of thousands of men and women left Ireland, most of them never to return. The harbour is home to the oldest yacht club in the world, and to the Irish Navy.
This deep waterway has also become a vital cog in the Irish economy.
‘The Harbour’ is not a history programme, nor is it a news focus. It’s simply an exploration of this famous waterway, its colour and its characters.
