“I have serious doubts whether this is a real story.”

Another old Diasporational post, this one about Irish-American journalist Floyd Gibbons and the sinking of the Laconia off the Irish coast in 1917.

One thought on ““I have serious doubts whether this is a real story.””

That was some tale, Niall. What a different attitude to that kind of disaster, compared to the reporting style of today.
Best wishes, Pete.
