The most tangible (or at least the largest) remant of the Bantry Bay episode is the French longboat used by a small landing party and captured by local forces. It is now on
display in the Military History galleries in the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin.
Tom there is a modern visitor centre ( in non Covid times) for the 1796 French expedition which is quite good . It’s situated at Bantry House that looks out in the bay . One can only imagine the local British panic when the ships pulled into the bay .
