"Onboard the Titanic - 1,000 Miles from Home"In April 1912, fourteen young men and women from the small county Mayo village of Lahardane departed Cobh, or Queenstown, as it was then known, on the RMS Titanic.
Eleven of those fourteen perished in the disaster, and the village of Lahardane represents the largest proportionate loss of life from any locality on the ill-fated Titanic.
Onboard the Titanic 1,000 Miles from Home, vividly re-creates the tragic story of the "unsinkable" Titanic and the Lahardane Fourteen, as they are now known, by incorporating the history, folklore, the macabre tales, along with the music associated with the ship once dubbed " a monument to human presumption".
This three-part series from the producers of “ Irish Heroes Poets & Villains” will start on Claremorris Community Radio on Saturday April 28th at 2pm and repeated on Fridays at 5pm.

Hi in Claremorris, Co. Mayo! Would love to listen to this programme from "beyond the waves", but unfortunately I keep falling on "open space" at that time and date. We were a group of 14 French to join the people of Lahardaun on last April,15th and are now able to picture the faces (through newspapers) and the backdrop.Congrats to the organizers of the ceremonies. Slan, Cecile.
