101 years ago today, Margaret Shineman, her husband James, and about 1,200 others lost their lives in the sinking of the Cunard liner Lusitania.
Margaret’s body was recovered and quickly buried in the churchyard of St. Multose in Kinsale, Ireland, before she could be identified. For the last 101 years, she was listed on the grave simply as “an unknown victim (woman).”
This new named headstone was just unveiled a few moments ago to mark her grave at St. Multose. Many thanks to all those who helped me make this project a reality.
