S.S. Hare and S.S. Adela Comemmoration

All welcome to an afternoon of events to mark the centenary of the loss of two Dublin Port ships. In December of 1917, two Merchant vessels, the S.S. Hare and the S.S. Adela were sunk in German torpedo attacks. 36 lives were lost, an awful tragedy to their families and also having a huge impact on the city and Dublin Docklands community, where many of the victims lived.

This afternoon of commemoration will begin with the unveiling of the separate plaques to each vessel, close to the original berths of their final voyages. The SS Hare was traveling from Manchester, while the SS Adela was heading toward Liverpool. The Lord Mayor of Dublin will be present to participate in the ceremony, along with the family members and representatives from Dublin Port and the local community. There will be a photo and memorabilia exhibition afterwards.
