  • Ironic it happen in Halifax. A tragedy of this scale. 5 years earlier they attended the rescued bodies of those who died on Titanic. Most of those 3rd class that weren't claimed, the city adopted & buried them, give them an end to their trip to the New World. 5 years later they were doing the same but on unimaginable scale.

  • I have no knowledge of what this was about,sorry,but it was another youtube 'recommended video' coz I watched some Irish themed video.But I'm glad I sat through it.I just love listening to our older citizens recalling the past.This lady seemed very lucid & eloquent,& whilst she was recalling a tragic event in Canadian history,it was a pleasure to listen to her! We really have to value our 'living archivists'.

  • That is amazing to still be living and remember the story.

    and as for the comments on here, GROW UP. Being childish is not a good quality of a decent human being

  • Hello TheDunrobinCastle, great video! Interviews such as this are absolutely priceless for our understanding of the past. You should consider submitting this, and any other relevant videos, to the Canada’s Got Treasures collection by joining our YouTube group (/group/TresorTreasure). It would be made available on our channel and website. Help celebrate Canadian diversity!

  • @Minimoonfan123 dude, i said i thought it was -.-

  • @TeamRedz You thinked that it was not a ture story?! Whatz wrong with ya???!!!

  • @TeamRedz im reading irish chain and it is unbelivably sad, but i think it is a really good book, i think that everyone should read it to see what all those poor people went through

  • i just read Irish Chain and omfg, i cant believe this is based on a true story !! Read the book, i hate reading books but after reading that, i loved them

  • I would like to know more.... trying to write a screenplay of this event. This is by far the most honest account of what happen that day. Very visceral... would love to hear the last shot & cheer at the pub in Dartmouth. Were there any soldiers that came back after the war to find the catastrophe?

  • Amazing. She can pass on a lot of wisdom staying calm in the face of danger that seems lacking these days. It's things like this that my generation should watch.
