SKIBBEREEN

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 187 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SKIBBEREEN , a market town of county
Cork
 , Ireland, on the river Ilen about 3 M. from its estuary, 534 M. S.W. of
Cork
  by the Cork,
Bandon
  and
South
 
Coast
  railway. Pop. (1901) 3208. The river is navigable for small vessels to Skibbereen itself, and for larger ones to Old Court on the estuary; and the town is a flourishing fishing-station.
Trade
  in corn and other agricultural produce is considerable. This
district
  suffered terribly in the
famine
  of 1847, and hundreds of victims were buried in pits in the graveyard adjoining the ruined Cistercian cell of Abbeystrowry, a mile west of the town. The Ilen offers fishing,
late
  in the season, for brown and sea trout. The main railway continues
south
  to
Baltimore
 , and a light railway runs to the pleasant seaside
village
  of Skull (or Schull), 15 in. W. Skibbereen is governed by an urban
district
  council.
