  defeat at the Battle of the Boyne, departed to

  dating from 1677, is a fortification that guards
  the entrance to Kinsale harbour. It was built to
  protect the area and specifically the harbour
  from use by the French and Spanish in landing in
  Ireland. James's Fort is located on the other
  side of the Cove. When the RMS Lusitania was sunk
  by a German U-boat on May 7, 1915, rescue efforts
  were coordinated out of Kinsale, which was the
  nearest harbour. A statue in the harbour
  commemorates the effort.
