What Happened To The Unknown Passengers On The Titanic?

In April 1912, 14 people from the parish of Addergoole in County Mayo, Ireland, set sail for America aboard the RMS Titanic, seeking better lives. The villagers of Addergoole held “American wakes” for the emigrants, symbolic ceremonies marking the departure and likely permanent separation from their families. When the Titanic struck an iceberg, the Addergoole 14 were initially told to stay calm and remain in steerage, but eventually faced chaos and difficulty accessing lifeboats due to class barriers. The group was notably organized; however, 11 of the 14 passengers from Addergoole did not survive. Credit to : The World History Channel
