A view of Queenstown (now Cobh), County Cork, from the harbour. Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC died in Queenstown on 8 December 1856. St. Colman’s Cathedral is prominent in the image. The cathedral is still lacking the octagonal limestone spire. Construction on the Cathedral began in 1868 but work on the spire did not commence until 1911 and was eventually completed in 1914.
