RMS Leinster sinking remembered
More light is being shed on the worst maritime disaster in the Irish Sea - in terms of loss of life - ahead of its centenary on Wednesday.
The RMS Leinster, a City of Dublin Steam Packet vessel, sank on 10 October 1918, after it was torpedoed by a German U-boat.
One hundred and fifteen civilians were confirmed killed, but the loss of military personnel was downplayed at the time.
Some of the bodies washed up on Manx shores, and are buried here.
Ivor Ramsden of the Manx Aviation and Military Museum has been looking into the tragedy:
Evidence sought for Area Plan inquiry
Traffic lights in operation by Palatine Health Centre
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
