If any of you happen to be in the Dunleary area (near Dublin) at 3 pm on Friday 10th October, would love to see you at the Lexicon library for the showing of a short film about the sinking of the RMS Leinster in 1918. Here is the link to the event itself. libraries.dlrcoco.ie/events-and-n....

Torpedoed just outside Dublin, the RMS Leinster mailboat sank, taking a record 70% of its passengers (571 souls) with her. The impact of this tragedy, on families across Britain, Ireland and beyond, was catastrophic. And yet, its story has been largely forgotten. youtu.be/VmfBQEGupK4?...

Why was piracy so rampant at this time? Who were the famous hounds?

No definitive Irish family connections, but there are prominent American family links including a president!. But this is a very dramatic story about nearly an entire Irish village being abducted into a world of slavery. #genealogy#barbarypirates#algiers#baltimorecork#sackofbaltimore#irishhistory
