This year will mark the centenary of two U-boat attacks on 14th December 1917 the SS Hare was targeted as it traveled from Manchester to Dublin Port, also on the 27th December the SS Adela was sunk as it traveled to Liverpool.

An appeal for family members of the victims of both attacks has been issued.

The relatives of victims, local historians and community groups from the Dublin Docklands area plan to erect memorial plaques on Dublin’s North and South Quays, hold memorial services and produce a publication.

Hi,

Only just found this post. Henry James Pitt was my 3xGreat-Uncle, my mother's side of the family her maiden name being Pitt. I'm very interested in hearing about the memorials planned for this years etc. I'd be very happy to share any info I have about Henry with you/for the memorial cause.

Kind Regards, from Derbyshire, England

There are pictures on this page https://www.facebook.com/adelahare1917/. They are holding another event in Holyhead for relatives living in the UK. Message them.

We had a wonderful day, started on Sean O'Casey bridge unveiled plaques to each ship on opposite sides of the bridge, speeches, singing and a minutes silence, Dublin Bus laid on a bus to bring us to the boat and we went out to Kish lighthouse, where prayers were said and the 3 wreaths and our roses were set adrift. We were well taken care of, fed & watered, and didn't pay for any of the trip, Guinness and Dublin council sponsored the event. It was fantastic.
