00:06Dear Cousin, I'm coming to America on the nicest ship in the world.
00:13Isn't that just splendid?
00:17I'm coming with some of the nicest people in the world too.
00:21They live in Chicago and I shall be able to make the entire trip with them.
00:26They've told me all about Chicago and I know I shall like it much better than I do Ireland.
00:34Yours truly, Annie Kelly.
00:38In April 1912, 14 people from the parish of Addergool in the west of Ireland set sail to emigrate to
00:45America.
00:46They were emigrating from poverty to find a better life for themselves.
00:51They came from the one parish and they all left on the one day.
00:53Unfortunately for them, they had the bad luck to step on board the ill-fated steamliner, the ship of dreams,
01:02the RMS Titanic.
01:06The Addergool 14 would have been among the poorest to have boarded Titanic.
01:12Eleven of the 14 died on Titanic. Only three survived.
01:17That from any one community had to have been the highest number.
01:23I can't think of any that would have rivaled that from any other country.
01:27Grandma had said she recalls at first that people were on deck picking up chunks of ice that had scraped
01:34off from the iceberg, putting it in their drinks because it seems there were many parties and celebrations going on
01:39at that hour of the night.
01:40Many of the survivors said at night they would have nightmares and what they would hear is the screaming of
01:50the people in the water.
01:51And the tiny village they left behind was so traumatized that they didn't speak about the relatives they lost on
01:58Titanic for almost a hundred years.
02:01Until now.
02:18Addergool is a small townland in North County Mayo on the west coast of Ireland.
02:22It's a remote but scenic area, situated between the shores of Loch Conn and the foothills of Nathan.
02:29At the heart of Addergool is the tiny village of Laherdon.
02:33In 1912 the population of Laherdon was only 96 people living in 22 houses.
02:41The Addergool story was one of the most tragic of the people's stories on Titanic.
02:48And it was the numbers, the numbers of people that were involved.
02:52There were 14 young Irish people from Addergool Parish in County Mayo.
02:58Of the 14, all but three did not survive the disaster.
03:02And this is a very, very high percentage of loss.
03:07The Addergool 14 travelled together in two main groups.
03:11Catherine McGowan was related to Annie McGowan.
03:15Catherine lived in America and had returned to Addergool to bring her niece Annie back with her.
03:23While she was at home, her tales of success in America encouraged the 14 to travel together with her as
03:30a group.
03:32She travelled around, recruiting more people to go.
03:35She was obviously going to set them all up in certain jobs in Chicago, if they came with her to
03:38Chicago.
03:40And being as successful as she was, she was always very enthusiastic about this adventure.
03:45Annie Kate Kelly, her friend Delia Mahan, Nora Fleming and Bridget Donohue
03:50already had plans to emigrate to America.
03:53But the prospect of travelling together with Catherine McGowan meant safety in numbers.
04:01Catherine Burke was a close friend of Catherine McGowan's.
04:05Catherine and her husband John were only married a year and had been childhood sweethearts.
04:11They realised that their only hope of living the life they dreamed of together was to emigrate.
04:17Dear Ellie, I suppose you've already heard of the fit I've taken.
04:22Well, I'll be sailing for America on the 11th of April with Kate McGowan.
04:27He'll be thinking I'm in terrible distress, but no, I'm quite happy going.
04:33When I sent you the shamrock I had no notion of going no more than the man in the moon.
04:37But I made up my mind all in a minute.
04:40I'm very short of time just now as I'm busy as ever I can be.
04:44Kate McGowan is here. I'm going to a funeral.
04:48I must close with love to you from Catherine Burke.
04:53P.S. The name of the steamer I'm going on is called Titanic.
04:58Upon hearing of their plans, John's sister Mary Burke also decided to travel with them.
05:05Mary Mangan was also a friend of Catherine McGowan.
05:08She too lived in America and had returned to Addergool to announce to her parents the news of her engagement
05:15to be married.
05:20Pat Canavan was 21 years of age, a rugged west of Ireland lad.
05:25He too was leaving Ireland in search of a better life.
05:29He travelled with his friend James Flynn and his cousin Mary Canavan, who was also James' stepsister.
05:35Mary Canavan's friend Delia McDermott travelled with them.
05:40They were the only group to go together, all together, from a parish, from any area in the country.
05:50Ireland in 1912 was a very tough place to live.
05:56It was a poverty stricken country where people lived under a cold west climate.
06:04Ireland in 1912 was.
06:05Large families of 10 or 12 people were crammed into tiny three-roomed houses.
06:12Everyone was poor and every member of the family worked around the clock just to survive.
06:18It was literally a hand-to-mouth existence.
06:21There were difficult times, there was no income around here.
06:23It was a poor, impoverished area and the population were the same.
06:28Poor and impoverished.
06:29It was a hard, tedious, mundane task to survive here, for everyone here.
06:35Because life was so tough, communities were very close-knit and they depended on each other completely to survive.
06:42Everybody knew each other well.
06:44Whole communities worked together to save the hay or bring in the turf.
06:52It was this closeness that brought relief to the hard lives they lived.
06:57They had no money.
06:59They just didn't have money.
07:00They had barter and they were self-sufficient to the point of view of having a few cows and growing
07:05some wheat and some vegetables.
07:07Not an awful lot though.
07:08That's how critical things were.
07:11They lived in humble houses.
07:13They were really grim, old, damp, cautious.
07:16They were cold.
07:17Because they weren't very well off and they weren't very well fed and nutrition was very poor,
07:22they died in their 40s, 50s, 60s of old age in those days.
07:26Or they died of consumption TB, which was rampant in most communities at the time.
07:30Cold, damp houses, turf fires, heavy smoke.
07:33It was a huge environment for tuberculosis and they had TB without knowing it.
07:39One small hitch such as a wet summer, a bad harvest or an illness could literally ruin a family.
07:50Because of this, emigration was rife.
07:53Oh yeah, like emigration was rampant.
07:56It was from every townland they were leaving.
08:00There was no work for them here or no prospects of work for them here at that time.
08:05Between 1850 and 1912 over 4 million people had emigrated Ireland.
08:10A huge figure considering the population was only 8 million.
08:14Nearly every family in Ireland had a relative abroad.
08:30The education system was basic and outside of cities most people only received a primary education and many never finished
08:38primary school.
08:39Emigrants left as young as 14.
08:42School records across Ireland show the scratched out names of those marked, Gone to the USA.
08:49In fact, it became a fashion, a rite of passage.
08:53Families would proudly await and display photographs and letters from America, England, Australia.
09:07At this time, nearly every family in Ireland had a relative abroad.
09:12New laws meant that only one child in a family could inherit the family land.
09:17Most families had between 6 and 12 children.
09:20This meant that the rest of the children, once they came of age, had to find work elsewhere.
09:26There was no work in Ireland, even in the cities, especially for poor, uneducated country men and women.
09:34Marriage or emigration was the only option.
09:40Newspapers carried dozens of ads every day, prompting people to travel on the fastest, the largest, the most luxurious of
09:47liners.
09:48The shipping lines competed aggressively for business, as steerage was where the companies made their greatest profits.
09:56Ticket agents roamed the countryside, knocking on doors with brochures, persuading people of the better life they could have abroad.
10:06And those who could afford to go, went in their droves.
10:10The girls left more than the fellas left.
10:13Because there was no implying for girls down here at all.
10:15You always sent your daughter to America if you could.
10:18And if you could, you'd try to get her to America, not to England, because it was rough in England
10:21at the time.
10:22But if you got to America, you were well made.
10:24And if you got your daughter to America, that was the best thing you could ever do as a father.
10:31The price of a ticket in third class on Titanic was just over £7 sterling.
10:36This is the equivalent of about £700 sterling in today's money.
10:40But in 1912, it would take at least three years for the average Irish family to save this.
10:46To them, it was a fortune.
10:48The Addergul 14 couldn't have afforded it.
10:51And their parents couldn't have afforded it either.
10:53So thus, the remittances, money coming back from America, which brought the next generation over.
10:58And the remittances, it was a huge phenomenon at the time.
11:00The money was coming back from those abroad.
11:02And that's how this area survived.
11:04And that's what got the 14 over.
11:05The 14 of them headed off from the village here and got on this bad-looking habit, Titanic.
11:14While the Addergul 14 were planning their new lives in America, only a hundred miles away in Belfast, construction had
11:22started on what was to be the greatest ship in the world.
11:26This was the ship that should have taken the Addergul 14 to their dreams, but instead took them to their
11:33graves.
11:35Construction began on the Titanic in 1907.
11:39It took three years to build.
11:41At the time, it revolutionized sea travel, as it was the largest, fastest, and most luxurious ocean-going steamliner ever
11:50built.
11:51It was the first ship that was guaranteed unsinkable.
11:56Titanic cost one and a half million pounds sterling to build.
11:59In today's money, that's 400 million pounds.
12:05Harland and Wolfe employed 15,000 people during this period.
12:09With such a massive weekly payroll, the Harland and Wolfe shipyard in Belfast became the biggest private employer in Ireland
12:16at that time.
12:28Dear Annie, I hope this letter finds you well.
12:30I am writing to let you know that I will be returning to Ireland for a holiday in a few
12:34weeks, and I'm so looking forward to meeting you.
12:37I hope that you will be returning to America with me. It's a lovely place to live.
12:41There are lots of opportunities in America. Jobs are plentiful.
12:47Yours faithfully, your loving aunt, Catherine McGowan.
12:51Fourteen was a considerable number. In contrast, when people left in ones and twos, they left all together as fourteen.
12:58Probably orchestrated by one person amongst them all, Catherine McGowan.
13:09Catherine was the perfect example of a successful emigrant.
13:13She had made it big in Chicago, having set up a boarding house providing room and board to the newly
13:18arrived Chicago immigrants.
13:21She was a rich entrepreneur and had returned to Ireland to escort her niece Annie to Chicago.
13:29Dear Auntie, I'm really looking forward to going to America. I'm very glad that you are coming to collect me.
13:37I'm looking forward to the opportunities ahead of me, and hopefully, with your help, I'll be able to find some
13:43work.
13:43Yours, Annie McGowan.
13:45When she returned to Addergool, she returned a very different lady from the girl who had emigrated 22 years previously.
13:54Catherine was now a wealthy woman and returned dressed in finery and loaded with money and tales of the opportunities
14:01and riches that could be found in Chicago.
14:06Catherine knew all of the fourteen and actively persuaded them to travel together with her to America.
14:12She told them stories of broad streets, jobs aplenty, and lives beyond their wildest dreams.
14:19One by one, she persuaded them all to travel together at the same time on the same ship.
14:25I'm related to Annie McGowan.
14:28When Annie finished school, she was in contact with her aunt Catherine McGowan.
14:34The fourteen would be very much excited, because they all had the same expectations as Catherine McGowan told them about.
14:46They probably thought that they could attain the same status as Catherine McGowan by going to America.
15:03The week of the 8th of April 1912, there were fourteen wakes held in houses across the townland of Addergool.
15:10There were fourteen deaths to be honoured.
15:15These weren't real deaths or real wakes, but American wakes.
15:23Ireland has always had lots of customs and traditions.
15:27One of these was the tradition of the American wake.
15:33When emigrants were leaving to go to America, their family and friends would hold a symbolic wake.
15:40Emigrating was like a death.
15:41A person who emigrated in these times would most likely never see their family or friends again.
15:49Most emigrants, bar the lucky few, never returned to Ireland once they left.
16:15These were very emotional affairs and bittersweet.
16:18Very sad for the family of a person leaving, and for the person themselves.
16:23But also, the prospects of a better life were exciting.
16:37When Titanic was launched in 1911, the White Star Line made...
16:44...customary, may God bless her...
17:02...and porous times they do positive in any city they have not seen, or they would ever lose their lives.
17:19And I was talking about the physical and the physical activity.
17:24And I would like to hear the social parents, the actual parents were also sent to us.
17:31The woman's support of the woman of the hospital,
17:36and the family of the family experienced her as herself.
17:42Only two days before the death of the family,
17:45A slave dressed up to her as a robot, and she was referring to all her friends.
17:50She told her that she'd be making a giant move to the game, and that she'd be a servant servant,
17:55and on this he died, but she'd be safe.
17:59Her family members of the Aragorn people also had a sight of the mobile services.
18:05An isolated person, but like a birthday left, William Adams wrote the legacy, and the legacy took her to the
18:13other disaster on the Earth, and she was done.
18:17But he missed the next story of the Aragorn people to see them, and they saw their terror.
18:24I'm not a father.
18:35The day before the ever-grews were seen in that target, they sent their final hours to air-use passengers
18:41to get back.
18:46Mary Manton spent this time with their, before going back to America to get married and starting to be back.
18:57After you've done first, we're also prepared to leave her. They were expecting that for a stage, this is all
19:04in the house.
19:05They were still in the past and then told us to leave her back.
19:15She was shown in front of the car, she was theaters, her family of parents, and old ladies wore a
19:22face.
19:24She was shown in front of the car, and more phariotr.
19:34The day before the ever-grews were seen in her hands.
19:38to cross the line, beside the thought at the end.
19:50Pruittigovans are working to lift the shot.
19:52The end is actually less, and the freedom on culture of the shot day,
19:56as criticates into the back of the list of the laws.
20:00Get the scientists raised, we can measure the bigger skin,
20:03is the strength.
20:14James, James, are the happy of his sister, who gets set to sleep.
20:19She's been destined for it, and James is the only one who found the best that he's signed.
20:25He comes in central fitness of her life, and she does the world.
20:36When he comes to the auction of the new order, she's been a substantial fitting over from the ship.
20:43The facilities were stayed in the attic.
20:45He could swim in the pool, and Jim could be with motorbill machines, drawing machines, and spinning machines.
20:54But then this grand staircase was hand-pitched in both things more often, but that class is faster fast.
21:01We call steerage classes where a shipping company made their best profits.
21:06The white skyline excited the Titanic with revolution as this class.
21:11Steerage and Titanic was a real luxury.
21:13It wasn't called steerage, it was called third class.
21:17The third class in Japan was at the second class on most of the ships, even as could the first
21:22class on some of the ships.
21:25The finished ship was the splendid, sweet, and pale.
21:29The largest and fastest ship in the world.
21:33All the Titanic would know as cool and fast.
21:44As long as possible.
21:48All in the ships can actuallybeiten the sailing ship.
21:53All theid разбkiers, the fact that the astronauts have reduced the ship to wood, which was in Rumor王, that does
22:00Arab war, the bottomless plane and the phosphor.
22:02Itومic off öğrenc..
22:02The vessel is based on 1490 on the ship.
22:04Oh, yes, it is 1490 on the fabric before it.
22:06This is also very interesting and so happy.
22:10I'm not sure what's going on.
22:12I'm not sure what's going on.
22:13I'm not sure what's going on.
22:18I'm not sure what's going on.
22:20I'm not sure what's going on.
22:21And the 14-leach Castleback Station never excited about now.
22:27This was finally.
22:28I will know if you were to fall.
22:31You just go.
22:43I'm not sure what I can do.
22:44Yeah, just let me give you a bit now.
22:50Hotrate Camera.
22:50Stop.
22:52Woo!
23:02Woo!
23:14Woo!
23:16Woo!
23:30The conditions were really fantastic on the way 3rd Class project.
23:37The accommodations I've had them were unbelievable in 3rd Class producing.
23:46But the other view 14, we experience a dream of a more electric lights.
23:52The first time that approval of the event itself.
23:55It was the first time that the cotton washroom had fallen in the place.
23:59I mean, that is the first time that the cotton washroom had fallen off the ice-meting,
