Faces of the Titanic: Daniel Buckley was saved after a woman hid him in a lifeboat

I agree with leahforce but I don't think the whole story is being told. There was also one know Jewish couple in third class which brings up the question of whether they were all Irish. Also the Irish in the movie were depicted as poorly dressed, but apparently that was not the case. I saw on American TV the story of one beautiful young Irish girl who was well dressed enough to attend a dance on the first class deck where she apparently made quite an impression on the men. When the Titanic hit, a member of the band went immediately to her third class suite to warn her and he and other men at the dance saved her life, although she insisted on going back for her hat. The picures from the town in Mayo which lost so many young people also showed then to be very well dressed. From my in-laws experience and pictures, in the 1900's the people leaving Ireland left in new stylish clothes bought for the journey. Anyone knowing the Irish of that generation would know they were fussy about their appearance and remained so. I would like to see a more accurate presentation of the Irish. Leahforce is right, all avenues of escape were closed to them, a complete genocide.

Disappointed that Irish Central has not mentioned the 1514 - mostly Irish, who were murdered on the Titanic. Denied, not only access to lifeboats but access to any exit. Locked in like cattle and their fates sealed without care. Shame on any Irish who 'celebrate' the anniversary of a blatant genocide.
