Notes on Kinsale, County Cork

Kinsale’s harbours have seen Spanish fleets, royalist warships, Cromwellian blockades, Redleg departures and mutinous Connaught Rangers. This series of stories traces how a single Cork port became a pivot of Irish, European and Atlantic history from 1601 to the twentieth century.
