Re: Re: Cork Harbour

There is a similar one in Castletroy, Limerick, Its floodlit and is quite pleasing on the eye.

One of the reasons a water tower remains on the site in Cobh is because it is an aid to navigation. It appears on the Nautical charts of the harbour and is often used by pilots(ships ones) as a landmark to steer to when entering the outer harbour. Combining landmarks such as this can also assist in the important task of compass swinging, but hey it doesnt look nice so lets tear it down.
