What is recorded here
Haulbowline is a thirty-five hectare island in Cork Harbour where the world's first yacht club formed in 1720 before becoming a naval base. The western side still hosts the Irish Naval Service, while the eastern side has changed from heavy industry to a public park. A roadbridge has connected the island to the mainland since 1966, allowing visitors to walk across land that water once kept separate. The place layers pleasure, labour and defence in one small area, making it feel like a room where several centuries still argue about whose turn it is to speak.
Haulbowline is recorded as a islet in County Cork. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
Haulbowline is a small islet located off the coast of County Cork, Ireland, historically associated with the nearby town of Cobh. It is notable for its connection to maritime history and as part of the scenic and strategic coastal landscape of southern Ireland.
