This Titanic memorial garden has been built in Lahardane Co. Mayo as a remembrance of the 14 people from Addergoole, the parish that includes Lahardane, booked passage to New York on Titanic. When the ship went down, 11 of them died, including the pregnant wife and sister of John Bourke, who refused to leave him.
So painfully sad to have lost so many from such a small place. Thanks for sharing this.
Yes it is a sad story, it’s nice to know that they are being honoured in some way
