Aud Anchor
See the Aud Anchor from 1916
The anchor from the Aud gun-running ship recently went on display at Cobh Heritage Centre as part of the 1916 commemorative events. The Aud was sent by Germany with 20,000 rifles and a million rounds of ammunition to assist the 1916 insurgents but was intercepted by the Royal Navy in Tralee Bay. Its captain, Karl Spindler, decided to scuttle the ship in Cork Harbour while it was being escorted to Cobh, then Queenstown.
This is a self-guided tour but we have audio units available in English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Polish and Hebrew.
