Review
The Irish Aboard explores an element of the Titanic's history which many of those accounts gloss over: the lives of the Irish passengers... Using baptismal certificates, census records, personal letters, news articles - anything he could find - Molony carefully pieces together the lives of Irish passengers before, during and, for the lucky ones, after the ship sank...For anyone interested in learning more about the Titanic's most overlooked demographic, this is the place to start. -- Sheila Langan 20120315 For a guide to navigating the Titanic and it's human dimension "Irish Aboard Titanic" by Senan Molony is worth recommending. -- Liam Kenny Leinster Leader 20120410 "...excellent and comprehensive account of the Irish aboard Titanic..." Wexford People 20120418 "...takes a fresh look at one of the key events of the last century." East Cork Journal 20120412
Product Description
The unspeakable tragedy of the Titanic disaster can only be fully appreciated through the tales of the people who were aboard on the night the ship went down. The Irish Aboard Titanic gives those people a voice, focusing on the Irish who were aboard the 'unsinkable' liner. In it are stories of agony, luck, self-sacrifice, dramatic escapes and heroes left behind. Senan Molony also records the heartache that continued long after that fateful night. In her wake the Titanic cast a long shadow over the families forced to endure the agonising wait to learn the fate of loved ones, over the lives of the survivors who had to start their lives anew and over those who lost relatives and friends. If you want to know about the Irish passengers and crew of the Titanic, this is the only book to have.

Format:Paperback
In a field now well and truly swamped with mediocre titles that tread the well-worn ruts of popular Titanic history, Molony's book stands out as a superbly researched and written contribution for anyone interested in the ill-fated White Star Liner and those associated with her. It works as a study in immigration, race and gender issues, the actions and reactions of individuals in response to the disaster, and as a cultural analysis. The material is fresh and beautifully presented, with photos, letters and recollections that have never been published before. Molony has drawn from a wide range of sources for his book, from family anecdotes and contemporary newspapers to the correspondence of those who lived and those who perished. Absolutely invaluable addition to the Titanic bookshelf - this is one of the most remarkable and important titles published in years, and deserves a place alongside writers such as Marcus and Wade.

Format:Paperback
Thoroughly enjoyable book for readers who are interested in the human side of the Titanic story. The author sets out in alphabetical order details of each individual Irish passenger's life story; some are more detailed than others. It has a separate chapter at the end of the book for the Irish crew aboard. I would happily recommend this book to anyone who has a genuine interest in the history of the Titanic and the people who were on her maiden voyage, a very worthy addition to your Titanic library.

Prompt service in sending an excellent and useful book which completely justifies a new edition. Vital to all interested in the Titanic and its people.
