From the first proposal that Cork Harbour was more suitable as a
naval base than Kinsale, development began which would continue for
almost 200 years. This book outlines that history, from the
development of Haulbowline Island, and covering its many
incarnations during that time. During WW1, it became a front line
base and the headquarters of the admiral directing the war against
the U-boats. The first US flotillas were based here, and, after
armistice, the British navy were based here during the Irish Civil
War. Now, the naval base is a modern, thriving organisation, but
one with a fascinating history which is fully explored within this
book.
