- 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.

My grand uncle was on the Titanic. 36 years old,and was going to St Louis .Missouri.His mother died two weeks before he left Co Clare Ireland, His body was never recovered. I have erected a stone memorial for him,on his nephew's and niece's grave, with a sculpture of the ship. RIP all.
Whenever Titanic is mentioned in film and documentaries it’s always the wealthy they mention. How fabulous is this documentary that centres on the less fortunate passengers to tell their story. RIP to all the poor souls who lost their lives in this tragedy.
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 don't think Annie McGowan risked going back to her room to merely fetch a hat. In my opinion, it was more than a hat: it was her last present from her mother that she badly wanted to hold onto as a memory, for she was unlikely to see her again.
I love the way the town chose to honor their ancestors by walking together through town to the church & ringing the bell. So healing.
Delia McDermott and Annie McGowan both escaped in Lifeboat 13, which was launched overloaded with 70 people. It was one of four lifeboats Officer Murdoch managed to launch filled to capacity, the others being Lifeboats 11 and 15, and Collapsible C. These four boats combined saved 265 lives, over one third of the survivors
I know it's easy to sit here 100+ years later and say "I would have done this or that". But instead of all the men scrambling to find available life boats...the order of action should have been...1) Get you women and kids in a life boat. 2) grab anything you can find that will float and some rope. The deck would have been covered in deck chairs and rope from the deployed life boats. Tie together anything that floats to make rafts. Aside from those trapped in the ship, most of the people died from the freezing water. Just needed to be able to get your body out of the water.
She got out of the boat, went alllll the way back down to steerage, grabbed the hat, went alllll the way back up to the chaos, found a rope, lowered herself into a boat that was already almost in the water and saved herself. I call that a Superwoman move!
I was born on April 15th many decades after the sinking of the Titanic, but every year since I was a teenager and learned that the Titanic sank on my birthday I have made it a tradition to say a Rosary for all the precious ones who died that day. May their souls rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon them.
This is one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen about the Titanic. I too, have always been fascinated about the lives of the passengers. But, next to nothing is known about 3rd class passengers. Thank you so much for telling this remarkable story.
I can’t imagine saving every penny for years to send my daughter to another country for a real future, knowing I’d realistically never see her again, only to hear of her death on her voyage to the promised land…. Heartbreaking
This is one of the most compelling documentaries about the Titanic I've ever seen. It touches on the human aspect beautifully.
Countless documentaries I've watched about the Titanic and not one time have I ever heard about the Addergoole 14. Thank you for telling their story.
As an Irish woman, I couldn't help but cry through the whole video. Their dreams, Their hopes and Their future Gone! Thank God! They are remembered with love and deep affection. Those who did make it must have had many a torturous nightmare. God Bless them all.
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.
I am a huge historical documentary nerd, and this is one of the most poignant and moving that I have ever seen. It is overwhelming.
It saddens my heart whenever i listen to stories about the Titanic.May all lost souls continue to rest well 😭
The last remaining survivor of the Titanic was Millvina Dean she was 97 and died in Southampton in 2009 of pneumonia,she had lived her life in Ashurst,Southampton. My Uncle lived in Ashurst too,and they were neighbours and friends. He told me all about her and her life. Millvina was a small baby when aboard the Titanic at the time of its sinking.
I took care of a woman named Pauline Yohawn who's husband had tickets for the titanic. He wasn't allowed to board as a young child. Because they did not serve Swedish food. His mother took another liner. And they kept the tickets. They are now in a museum donated after death by family.
