⛵️ We’re celebrating Cork Harbour all this month!

Ahead of #CorkWeek2026, the famed biennial sailing regatta (6-10 July), this week’s artwork depicts yachts racing across the harbour and flying a red burgee.

🚩 Fun fact: this is the triangular flag of the (world’s oldest) Royal Cork Yacht Club!

Today, we’re continuing our celebration of Cork Harbour by looking at some of the familiar landmarks that have watched over the harbour for centuries - Blackrock Castle, Great Island, and Haulbowline. 🌊 🏰
