Description: Step aboard a forgotten chapter of maritime history with the story of the MV Connemara, a passenger steamer that plied the busy waters of the Irish Sea in the early twentieth century. Tracing the vessel's origins in the age of iron and steam through its daily operations on the Greenore-Holyhead route, this meticulously researched account builds toward the fateful night of November 3rd, 1916, when tragedy struck in Carlingford Lough. Drawing on records of the collision, subsequent investigation, and the lives of those aboard, the book offers a poignant portrait of a disaster too often overshadowed by the wartime era in which it occurred. A moving tribute to the ship, her passengers, and the enduring memory of the lost.
