  • Between 1850 and 1920 over 3 million people - half the population - emigrated from Ireland, escaping desperate poverty. Believing America to be a saviour and a life of hope, the ‘Addergoole 14’ saved fiercely in order to afford a ticket aboard the Titanic and escape to the land of dreams. Told using interviews with the descendants of survivors, these are new perspectives of the conditions on board, and the events of April 12th 1912. Focusing not on the glory and fate of the ship, this new look at a famous tragedy uncovers ordinary lives and fragile hopes of the community that lost more that fateful night than any other.

      Guess I’m lucky. My mums family left Ireland from county Clare in 1848. They left for Australia. There is info that a single girl , aged 16 , left later to join them. Wow! How brave these people were. Her name was Ellen Bartlett. I can’t remember the name of the ship but it started with an ‘M’. May they Rest In Peace - such a tragedy. The bit about them having a party is just heart breaking . I don’t know if it’s right to say that at least they were having fun to start with. The bravery of people shone through. 🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Her friends all wrote personal and heartfelt eulogycies, poems, memories of things they did growing up, and so on. Twice as touching as any funeral I've ever been to. She chose a ticket and pocket money over her father paying for a wedding, and I would like to imagine he was proud of her as well.

    I started crying when it showed them eating at the table in 3rd class. The first time they had a meal like that with silver cutlery and toilets and washrooms. They were so excited and then they died with all these wonderful dreams for their future. I’m so glad their town in Ireland honor them each year to never be forgotten. This huge mansion about 5 mins down the street from me was sold to the owners of New Balance tennis shoe. The family that owned it before died on the Titanic. No one really in my neighborhood even knows that story. It would be so great if we did something to honor them but it’s like they are forgotten.

      I think that I've been a fan ever since I first saw the 1997 movie, or reading about it in the Magic Treehouse series (whichever came first) In any case, this was definitely a wonderfully done documentary, I've seen a good number of them, but they focus more on the technical why it happened, sure they might talk about the losses, but many just refer to them in a statistical manner, "yes it's sad, so many losses, but anyways back to this handy chart we made..." (okay maybe not quite that bad, but the point still stands). The actors who played the 14 and the other passengers added an extra level of depth that most others don't, a human depth that even the fancy graphics of the videos from the game Titanic Honor and Glory (which is going to be fantastic when it's done) can't match.

    It's good to be able to hear about the stories behind the folks "in the lower cabins." For all my childhood and other adult years, that's all I've ever heard them described as. The rich folks had names, jobs, and titles. The lower classes were just lower classes; an unnamed, poor monolith.
    As an adult, I want to hear their lives. Because in many ways, I'm them in the present; because minimum wage workers are the backbone of every country; and mostly, because humans are all humans. There isn't more or less value to them depending on income.
    So thank you.

    When I was a little girl, I remember my parents discussing our neighbors who had miraculously survived this disaster. We were cautioned not to ask them questions about it, because it still evoked such painful memories of lost friends and family members. That was my introduction to this "forbidden" topic. When their son became a teenager, he shared his parent's memories of this tragedy, and something in my child's mind realized what a devastating event this was. Those voices are mostly lost, now, so these documentaries are wonderful tributes to all the survivors of the Titanic's calamity, and a poignant eulogy for lost lives.

I believe that she had emigrated to the US and had come back to Athlone for her sisters wedding and was returning on Titanic. She was a third class passenger and boarded one of the last lifeboats. In subsequent letters to my grandmother she only referred to it once as `that terrible night`.

Lucy Ridsdale was middle aged and traveled as a governess.She was used as an example in the National Archives Museum as to what the typical 2nd class passenger lost in belongings and how much she sued the ships builder for loss and damages. Our family has memorabilia, when Lucy’s sister wrote to my family two weeks after the sinking to let them know how Lucy was doing as she recovered at her sisters home in Ohio. Family elders have the original dated letter, I and others have a copy which I cherish. Lucy’s plight has led me to a number of discoveries about the tragedy, waking me to truths many are not ready to hear yet.

      Perhaps you died on the ship in a previous life.. i know i did or at least in very similar circumstances. However i’ve always been drawn to the story of the titanic most likely because my soul knows.. even if i only know shards of my previous life.. i remember how i died in a room filling with water and drowned after being unable to move due to the cold water. The door couldn’t open due to the water on the other side.. i probably tried to open it wich is why the water flooded in. And i’m guessing i might have slept trough the whole thing only realising till it was too late

    My Irish grandmother was born in 1902 and was 10 when Titanic sunk. She lived till the age of 100 and died in 2002. Even at the age of 100 she could recall people she knew who travelled down from Co. Mayo where she was from to Co. Cork Ireland to go on the Titanic. All those who did were 3rd class passengers and perished.

      I almost hate to make apologies for Titanic's crew for that, but they didn't lock them down there to purposely keep them away from the lifeboats. Immigration laws of the time required third class passengers to be kept separate from those in the other classes. Add to that a crew that was only haphazardly informed of the danger to the ship*, and it was kind-of inevitable they would have kept the gates locked.
      *In the early phases of the disaster at least, knowledge of the ship's true condition was mostly kept to the officers. A crewmember in the stern didn't even know they were launching lifeboats until he saw one row away.

    • @SymphonyBrahms
      @SymphonyBrahms 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      "Every Titanic movie depicts third-class passengers trapped behind floor-to-ceiling gates. Careful examination of available plans of Olympic and Titanic reveals no such gates in passenger areas. U.S. immigration regulations required segregation of third class from first and second - the former faced Ellis Island inspection; all others landed directly at the pier. On Titanic, waist-high gates separated classes. Stewards nearby prevented gate-jumping. Eventually, they left to help in the evacuation, leaving gates unguarded, explaining a surge of third-class passengers onto the boat deck after most lifeboats had left. One author plotted more than 20 paths from third-class areas to the boat deck.
      The high third-class death toll resulted primarily from language barriers, natural obedience to authority figures, refusal to leave male loved ones behind and the absence of communication."
      Quote from Charles A. Haas, who has co-authored with John P. Eaton five acclaimed books about Titanic. In 1993, Haas was the first teacher to dive to Titanic's wreck and he serves today as president of Titanic International Society, based in Midland Park.

    I remember watching a documentary a while back, and one of the survivors described the screaming like that which you'd hear at a ballpark. She lived in Brooklyn, near Ebbet's Field where the Dodgers played. She said that the roar of the crowd during a homerun or crazy play would trigger her. Saying that that's exactly what those screams sounded like. Only they weren't cheering, they were dying and pleading for help. To this day, I still imagine what that "death roar" must've sounded like, and it just chills me to my core - no pun intended. Seriously though, it's just so frightening to imagine. It's also probably the best way to describe that sound.

      I was a member of "Mayo Youth Theatre" when the producer of this documentary approached me and fellow members. Mayo is the county in which this documentary takes place. Addergoole is the village, not even a town. With the lack of villagers and buildings in Addergoole in 1912, it probably wasn't even considered a village. I could be wrong there. And no, I am not from the immediate area. I'm from another remote area within the county of Mayo.

    I start feeling happy for them that they get to immigrate, and then I remember that they're going on the Titanic and only three will survive. It's so sad hearing about them all and wondering which ones will make it. I haven't finished it yet.
    Edit: This was so sad it made me cry while baking cookies. Baking cookies is usually happy, but for some reason I thought listening to a documentary about the Titanic while I do it would be a great idea. I don't regret it though. I always roll my eyes when people say history is boring, it's all about how you present it really, its unfortunate that schools only seem to care about memorizing names and dates.

      I agree, a good history instructor wants to show how and why we got where we are, and while I do think that there are many out there who want to do it, but due to funding and the opinions of the higher-ups all that matters are passing grades, no passion, no memory, just enough to get the students through to graduation. In any case, this was definitely a wonderfully done documentary, I've seen a good number of them, but they focus more on the technical why it happened, sure they might talk about the losses, but many just refer to them in a statistical manner, "yes it's sad, so many losses, but anyways back to this handy chart we made..." (okay maybe not quite that bad, but the point still stands).

    From transcripts of both enquiries, one thing that became apparent to me was that steerage passengers were only beginning to reach the boat decks as the last lifeboat was being filled. That was quite late on and would suggest to me that the first and second class passengers were treated more favourably than the steerage. One witness stated that nobody from steerage was stopped from making their way up top, though they did have to break a locked door down in order to pass it
