We thank Presenter, John Greene for advance information on this Sunday evening’s programme – 30th May 2021 at 7pm on C103. (S.R.)
Where The Road Takes Me – Sunday May 30th.
This week on ‘Where the road takes me, John Greene brings the three part programme on the sinking of the Lusitania to a conclusion.
In programme three, we outline the remaining years in the lives of the two protagonists, Capt. Bill Turner of the Lusitania and Capt. Walter Schweiger of submarine U-20.
Although Turner managed to clear his name somewhat, his scapegoating by Churchill made it an almost impossible task.
Schweiger, on the other hand suffered the same fate as the 1,197 Lusitania passengers he had sent to a watery grave two years earlier.
For passenger Julia o’Neill from Rosscarbery, tragedy followed her survival in her new home in Kilgarvan Co. Kerry.
And, were the Irish Government aware of the real identity of the German Submarine Captain they invited to Ireland in 1966 to commemorate the 1916 rising?
The sinking of the Lusitania – The Conclusion – this Sunday evening on C103 at 7.
