  • This is the Titanic's 'Addergoole 14'. Between 1850 and 1920, half of Ireland's population migrated in a bid to escape poverty. Viewing America as a beacon of salvation and hope, the 'Addergoole 14' diligently saved money to secure tickets on the Titanic, aiming to embark on a journey to the promised land. Through interviews with descendants of survivors, this narrative offers fresh insights into the onboard conditions and the events of April 12th, 1912. This reexamination of a renowned tragedy unveils the ordinary lives and fragile aspirations of a community that endured unparalleled loss that fateful night.

    I am from Nova Scotia Canada. The Titanic is a big part of our history. I hope for all of you, is to come to Halifax Nova Scotia to visit our cemeteries to see where so many passengers are buried. With love, Marion

    I wasn't expecting to cry today, but I should have known since I can't hear or read a paragraph about Titanic without breaking into tears. This was VERY well done. As someone fortunate enough to be born in America, it is HEARTBREAKING to me that so many sacrificed so much to have a chance at a better life, for them only to have a torturous end, and severe trauma for the ones who survived 😞 Thank you for this documentary. 🤍🕊️

    As a filipino and learning about the hard life in ireland more than a hundred years ago and its influx of immigration for a better life, is a parallel and poignant reminder on what some filipinos are doing and going on today (working abroad for opportunities) and not to mention majority of irish and filipinos are catholics and superstitious! Having relatives abroad were considered status symbols in most filipino families (my clan included) eventhough i dont have relatives and ancestry onboard the titanic, i can't help but have a pang of grief and loss knowing on how much lives, hopes and dreams were lost on that tragedy!
    May they have the everlasting peace that they deserve 🙏

    This was well done, and even brought some tears to my eyes. My father always told me that we had a distant relative that died on the Titanic, although I do not not know information to follow up on his claim and my father has since passed on. But, the fact still remains that the majority of those who died were still Irish immigrants, people of our own blood and heritage. So many hopeful and new lives, cut short in just one night. I am glad to learn the stories of those 14 souls, and hope future generations will not forget again.

      No. Irish were amount the fewest of immigrants. US wasnt friendly with Irland at the time. There were more Swedish and Middle Eastern passengers than irish. You should really do just 1 simple google search. it would avoid allot of cringe and looking poorly educated.

      Absolutely not. Smith, nor white star, wanted to employ the irish. Smith almost docked the ship and refuse to leave because he wanted Murdoch, the only Irish first crewmen, off the ship so badly. Didnt trust him as main crew head, which is what Murdochs station was, so demoted him on a whim to second officer and promoted lightoller in his stead.. Most workers were english and scottish.@@greenliter1

      Almost none were irish. Irish were highly racists against at the time and now allowed to hold high positions by most english. They banged the ship together, but there were less than 30 working the ship.@@greenliter1

    I recently got to visit the titanic artifact museum in Las Vegas; Now I’ve been interested in it since the 80s, read many books, watched documentaries, etc. Aside from seeing the wreckage in person, it’s bittersweet to artifacts and even the big piece from the ship itself. Sadly no one was allowed to touch the said big piece but still, amazing to see in person.

    A lot of errors in this but cool story. If 2 pounds was worth 700 pounds in 1912 by that math $25 dollars would be worth about $9,000 dollars. Only a few people in the lifeboats even saw the Titanic sink. It was pitch dark. I could go on.
