       The Mayo Titanic

        Cultural Week 

     8th-15th April 2012

In April 1912 fourteen men and women from Addergoole, in North Mayo, set sail from Queenstown, Cork for a new life in America. Within days, eleven had died in the icy waters of the North Atlantic. Their ship, ‘Titanic’, sank on her maiden voyage.

Rural Ireland resounds with tales of emigration, steeped in the traditions of letting go. Addergoole will never let go of the memory of eleven neighbours and friends who disappeared with that "Ship of Dreams".

Time brought us solace. We cherish their memory and marked the 100th anniversary of their drowning with a very memorable Irish Titanic Centenary Programme. The Cultural Week, 8th - 15th April 2012, drew some 12,500 people to our small village.
