Mountain to the Sea: The Stories of the Addergoole 14

This was an emotional episode to build, and you'll hear the breaking in my voice as I record. I share with you the stories of all fourteen passengers from the village of Lahardine, Addergoole, County Mayo, who boarded Titanic together in third class. Only three survived. I was so fortunate to visit the Addergoole Memorial last August with my family, and interspersed here are voice notes I made while there. These people deserve to be remembered. Let's say their names:

Annie McGowan
Catherine McGowan
John Bourke
Catherine McHugh Bourke
Mary Bourke
Mary Canavan
Patrick Canavan
James Flynn
Annie Kelly
Bridget Donohoe
Bridget Delia Mahon
Mary Mangan
Bridget Delia McDermott
Nora Fleming
