Baltimore —County Cork
Baltimore is a very attractive village, harbour and sailing base 13km south-west of Skibbereen. A ferry service for Sherkin and Cape Clear islands departs from here. In 1631 the town was raided by a band of Algerian pirates. Some of the local inhabitants were killed and many were taken off as slaves to North Africa.
Visitors interested in diving may visit Baltimore Diving And Watersports Centre.
