Cork Harbour Round Wooden 3d Map – Handcrafted Irish Maritime Art

Cork Harbour · Cuan Chorcaí · Co. Cork, Ireland

A meaningful handmade gift for anyone with a connection to one of the largest and most historic natural harbours in the world.

Celebrate the vast beauty and historic depth of Cork Harbour with this finely handcrafted round wooden map. Stretching from the city quays at Cork out to the open sea beyond Roches Point, Cork Harbour is one of the largest natural harbours in the world — a place where maritime history runs deep. It was from Cobh that millions of Irish emigrants departed for America during the Famine and beyond, where the Titanic made its last port of call in 1912, and where Spike Island — once the world's largest prison — sits at the heart of the harbour's extraordinary story. From the sailing waters off Crosshaven and the naval base at Haulbowline to the colourful cathedral town of Cobh and the quiet inlets of the eastern shores, Cork Harbour rewards those who take the time to explore its every corner.

This handcrafted 3D wooden map captures Cork Harbour's sweeping curves, inlets, islands and surrounding Cork coastline in layered detail — made by hand in our Sligo studio from sustainable materials.

Perfect for:

• Sailors and boaters who know Cork Harbour's waters from the Royal Cork Yacht Club at Crosshaven — the world's oldest yacht club
• Maritime history lovers drawn to Cobh, Spike Island, the Titanic connection and the harbour's extraordinary emigration story
• Families with roots in Cobh or the harbour towns who want a meaningful piece of their home place on their wall
• Anyone with a connection to Cork Harbour, whether through sailing, history, family or simply a love of this iconic stretch of the Cork coastline

Make it personal:

Add a brass pin to mark a favourite spot — Cobh, Crosshaven, Spike Island, a family home, a favourite anchorage or a special place along the harbour — with a short engraved message on the back.

Our Local Spots maps are round, framed wooden 3D maps, designed to capture meaningful Irish places in a simple, tactile format.

Each map measures approximately 220mm across and 42mm deep. It is ready to hang and also comes with a small clip-together stand, so it can be displayed on a wall, shelf, desk or sideboard.

Each map is framed without glass, allowing the depth, texture and natural wood grain to remain visible. Available with a natural or black frame.

Depths and elevations are shown in metres where included in the design.

You can add a short engraved message to the back of your map and a brass pin to mark a special place on the front for an additional charge.

To add this option, select “Map with engraving + brass pin” before adding the map to your cart, then enter your message and the Eircode or location details in the box provided.

If the place does not have an Eircode, you can describe the location instead.

Each Local Spots map is designed and made by Outcrop in our County Sligo studio.

We use geographic data to create the layered map design, then laser cut, stain, hand-sand, finish, frame and check each piece in our workshop before it is packed for delivery.

Made in small batches, each map carries the natural warmth of wood and the care of something made by hand.

Each Local Spots map is made from FSC-certified bamboo plywood, chosen for its strength, fine grain and natural warmth.

Our round frames are made from FSC-certified birch, sourced from sustainably managed Finnish forests. We use water-based, non-toxic glues and stains to finish each piece by hand.

Your map is wrapped in protective tissue and presented in an unbleached, recycled cardboard box. Our packaging is plastic-free, and each piece is designed to be kept, gifted and enjoyed for years.

Your map comes ready to hang, and also includes a small clip-together wooden stand for displaying it on a shelf, desk or sideboard.

To use the stand, pop out the two pieces, slot them together and rest your map securely on top.

For best results, display indoors and avoid prolonged direct sunlight,
as this may gradually affect the blue colour or natural bamboo tone over time.

Dust gently with a soft dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.

Each Local Spots map is made to order in our Sligo studio, rather than held in large quantities of stock. This helps us make carefully, reduce waste and manage our small workshop space.

Please allow up to 2 weeks for dispatch during our normal production flow.

Your map will be carefully wrapped and presented in an unbleached, recycled cardboard box, ready to give as a gift. We do not include pricing inside the parcel, so it can be sent directly to the recipient.

If your order is a gift, you can leave us a note at checkout with any packing or delivery details.

If you need your map sooner, please contact us before ordering and we’ll let you know what is possible.
