The Tragedy of RMS Leinster | Ireland News

Just weeks before WWI ended, the RMS Leinster—carrying mail and civilians, including Catherine Gould and her six children—was torpedoed in the Irish Sea, claiming 569 of the 817 aboard. Catherine and five of her kids perished; her 19-year-old daughter Ellen was the sole survivor. Catherine’s unmarked grave in Limerick stands as a silent memorial, alongside other Limerick victims like Anna Maud Barry and Alderman Michael Joyce. A memorial anchor in Dún Laoghaire honors all lost in this devastating tragedy. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
