    Description

    Vintage Continental-sized (approx. 4x6") chrome postcard with a view of Bantry Bay in
    West Cork, Ireland,
    with the elegant Bantry House in the front left; Whiddy Island at middle distance; and the Caha mountains on
    the horizon.
    The Bantry cemetery is visible at left center.
    Front caption reads, "Bantry Bay, showing Bantry House and Whiddy Island, West Cork, Ireland."
    Back caption reads,
    "BANTRY BAY, CO. CORK: Bantry is a thriving market town near
    the head of magnificent and historic Bantry Bay. Formerly a station of the
    British Atlantic Fleet, Bantry Bay was twice entered by French Fleets: in 1689
    to aid James II, and in December 1796, accompanied by Wolfe Tone, to
    aid the Republican insurrection. South-west of the town, in a beautifully sited demesne,
    is Bantry House, a great Georgian mansion built for Richard White, First Earl of Bantry.
    Whiddy Island, 1 3/4 miles out in Bantry Bay, is the location of a great oil transhipment
    terminal for Gulf Oil. The first of its kind in Europe. It is fed by giant 300,000 ton tankers."
