Although parts of Cobh are very steep, I would have guessed that the "cliffs" referred to were more likely at the Old Head of Kinsale, from which the Titanic would have been visible as it steamed West. It could also have been viewable from Roche's Point, Whitegate, Ringaskiddy, Crosshaven, or numerous other vantage points as it exited the harbor. -dja
