When I scuba dived years ago I found a port hole while diving on the Connemara ship wreck,to think it’s only in 10 metres of water and so many people lost their lives.
🚢 THE SS CONNEMARA – A JOURNEY THAT NEVER ENDED
For years, the SS Connemara carried passengers, livestock and crew between Greenore and Holyhead.
Built in Dumbarton, Scotland, and launched in 1896, the vessel was part of the London and North Western Railway Company's maritime operations.
On 3rd November 1916, she departed Greenore on what should have been another routine crossing.
But the weather was deteriorating, and tragedy lay ahead.
Discover the history of this vessel and her final voyage at our upcoming presentation.
