The Titanic Centenary - Its Irish History ???

Well its here. The Titanic Centenary. Memorabilia is on sale again. Built in Belfast and Cobh was the last port of call. I remember seeing a list from a town in Mayo where 15 people from the one town who had sold up to go to America were casualties. Thats a bit different to millionaire Benjamin Guggenheim & his ladyfriend…

John Coffey (a stoker) jumped ship at Queenstown by stowing away on a tender and hiding amongst mailbags. He was a local from the town but not much is know of his movements afterwards - I believe he sailed on the Mauretania too.
