BANTRY

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 356 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BANTRY , a seaport, market-town and seaside resort of Co.
Cork
 , Ireland, in the west parliamentary division, 58 m. S.W. of
Cork
  by the Cork,
Bandon
  &
South
 
Coast
  railway, on the bay of the same name. Pop. (1901) 3109. It is an important centre both for sea fisheries and for sport with the rod. It is the ter-minus of the railway, and a coaching station on the famous " Prince of Wales " route (named after King
Edward
  VII.) from Cork to
Glengarriff
  and Killarney. The bay, with excellent anchorage, is a picturesque inlet some 22 M. long by 3 to 6 broad, with 12 to 32 fathoms of water. It is one of the headquarter stations of the Channel
Squadron
 , which uses the harbour at Castletown Bearhaven on the northern shore, behind
Bear
 
Island
 , near the mouth of the bay. It was the scene of attempts by the French to invade Ireland in 1689 and 1796, and troops of
William of Orange were landed here in 1697. There are several islands, the principal of which are
Bear
 
Island
  and Whiddy, off the town. Ruins of the so-called " fish palaces " testify to the failure of the pilchard
fishery
  in the 18th century.
