Programme 6 Tuesday 28 August 2007 8.30pm For many communities dotted along the Donegal coastline, fishing was their life's blood. With limited employment, the young men who grew up in this tiny corner of Ireland were destined for a life at sea. But it wasn't just about the money. Fishing was the common bond between communities. In places like Killybegs and Burtonport little else was talked abo...
🤣
Those diary entries are painfully beautiful. Tragedies like these i don't belive they ever leave you. Thank you for sharing this story and helping to keep the memory of these men alive.
Don't suppose You have the whiddy island episode?
Aiden mcgeady got to play in 2 major competitions for the republic of Ireland. Scotland qualified for nothing when Mcgeady played for Ireland.
I think the names of those lost should be listed seeing how many are still out at sea and most people had never heard of this story outside of Donegal.
Dixie Deans as James Bond and Bertie Auld as Elvis himself😀
This reminds me so much of my angel, the love of my life... She wasn't too much of a fisherman, but still liked it while I'm a fisherman by heart. She was a young Widow when we met and she died tragically on a normal sickness, due to what the abuse of her ex fiance had done to her, she seemed to make a good recovery but then she got sick and her body didn't have the strength to fight it. Now the only comfort I have ist the "tough love" to a rough, rocky coast and to fishin'. My deep condolences for all the Wifes, friends and family members of these fishermen!
May all lost rest in peace.
Yea ay,, hats off forevermore . Being from Grimsby,. We understand. Xx. We know.
Three score and ten!!👍
Extremely Moving
I love the Commentators voice.. wish my mother sounded like the lady :)
What a strange world my son is called Patrick Alan Bonner from UK he is 25 know
Song at the end is shoals of herring by Liam Clancy.
Soo sad 😞 Many lost down here in Kilmore too, brave man who go down to the sea
Very sad!
I was only ever in a bad swell once in a 60 foot tug crossing clew bay from Clare island to achill island it was the most frightening thing I ever experienced the middle of the channel being the worst I got thrown about that badly in the wheel house I went back cracked a small pane of glass with my elbow then forward that badly about 3 or 4 buttons popped off my shirt those fishermen had nerves of steel I will never go out on rough seas in a small vessel again but it was an experience to see a 6 meter wall of water coming at you then cresting the waves and you can see land again GOD REST THEIR SOULS
I got seasick on Torpoint ferry in rough weather that was enough for me
So sad. My ancestors came from Wexford over 200 years ago to Newfoundland and were all fishermen. RIP brave fishermen.
Such a sad story, this video will live on for the memories of these men x
Is the best fishing in this treacherous area ??
Fuarce udin
16 yr old boys in the days in them jobs were MEN
Google the song "Donegal Danny" sung by the late Ronnie Drew of The Dubliners. It is about the sole survivor of a fishing boat tragedy near Killibegs Donegal. I have always wondered whether my GG grandfather or G grandfather were on that boat as they died in that area and bodies never found.
Captions! Where are the captions! I cannot understand these people!!
from the people of donegal RIP PHIL
God Bless them all, good Men just trying to provide for their families in probably the most naturally dangerous occupation on earth..they are surely with God....
I totally admire fishermen. Brave people.
02:48 a valiant attempt but you're balding.
Rest in calm seas boys you are fishing in paradise now
My grandfather's family were apparently the last people to leave Rutland Island - he was Barney O'Boyle. After that there were many cousins - Denis Boyle, Manus Boyle, to mention but a few...........
My best to their families and the kids they leave behind I hope you all have managed through the years. What most people do not understand Fishing is much more than a job its a way of life. The early morning sun rises used to fill me with life oh once did I love the sea but let me tell you severe trauma changes a man or women ask those who survived.
And a massive thank you to the men and women of 'The Royal National Lifeboat Institute' who bravely volunteer to save the lives of those in peril on the seas around the coasts of the British Isles, including the Republic of Ireland, giving their lives free and gratis to save others. There is no other service like it in the world.
I just watched a documentary on the Penlee disaster and I cannot agree more with what you say. Brave isn't a good enough word for them, absolute legends everyone of them.
This is about the loss of the fishermen and you forgot to mention all the independent lifeboat stations who get no funding from the RNLI.
Very sad programme to watch. I too lost family to the sea. May they all Rest in Peace. Its sad that even today there is still no large lifeboat to go to the aid of fishermen in Donegal bay especially around Rathlin O Byrne island. Nearest lifeboat is up in Arranmore and it would take them a fair time to get down the length of the coast in rough seas.
The sea killed these fine men the European Union killed there fellow fisherman's livelyhoods, lovely song of the Evelyn Marie sang by conal gallon
R.I.P. to all of those poor souls! So terribly sad!
GREAT RESPECT FOR ALL OF THESE VERY BRAVE MEN. RIP ALL CREWS.
ha ha ha
Most dangerous profession. One of my best friends was a fisherman. A real waterman and very capable. He disappeared off the Santa Barbara Channel Islands in 1994.
Sorry to hear
So sorry for your loss, from a native Californian.
It ain't no fish you're buyin'...its mens' lives...SJ
I’m sorry I thought these guys did this for a living or were they drafted into this,every trade has its dangers deal with it they CHOSE to be out there that’s life
That's pretty simplistic .That's like saying you chose to drive your car to work and the fact you were killed in a car accident is just your decision to drive your car that day, so, oh well. Really? Not a critical thinker much.
Ed Orlando ur a clown ull get a slap of the real world some day mate
Trouble is Europe gave huge subsidies to Irish fishermen to buy new boats, gear and gave them bigger quotas than their fellow fishermen in England, Scotland and Wales. All these new fishermen (skippers) were driving around in top of the range cars. BMW'S Mercedes ect. This makes captain and crew greedy and more willing to take risks. He should never have been casting his nets so close to the rocks in that weather. Their last big haul was a devil in disguise, had they hauled a empty net they'd have likely cut their losses and headed for shelter, but the thought of a few extra thousands of Euros pushed them to take risks. I don't blame anyone as there are quite a few skippers who will take risks especial if they know their crew are up for it. Sadly the sea came back and bit them on the arse. RIP all lives lost at sea and a massive thank you to the Royal National Lifeboat Institute who protect and rescue folk all around the British Isles, including Ireland free and gratis. There is no other service like it in the world. Ps I worked an inshore long liner of f the coast of Devon for several years catching Bass and Bream and know how quickly a light breeze an become GF 8 with wind against tide and the sea becomes a boiling devil. I am an Atheist,.but these are the times I prayed like a Nun for deliverance.
@@RicTic66my experience as well, too many in this tough trade are plain greedy and outright careless about basic maintenance and security. As experienced technician I've maintained their vessels, trained and worked with them in the North Sea. Near miss accidents is almost a daily routine, most equipment is run until breakdown. Accident reports all too often tells lack of maintenance is the cause of tragedies ... Criticism is laughed at, ridiculed and all to often plain ignored. Each to his own 🙄🤦🏼
What you sorry for ED?
RIP you brave men
The sea always takes her dues
Shower of shite
"Shoals of Herring" sung by the great Liam Clancy of "The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem" . Search UA-cam for their music.
How come nowadays we understand US people better than english people ?... Even the translator is having a seriously hard time translating the words ! 21:04 He tries to mean "how she done it" and the poor translator finds "Tyshee Donut" !!
The man is Irish, not English. Nobody in this video talks with an accent.

May the brave fishermen of Donegal always be remembered including Patrick McShea of Creevy who drowned in Donegal Bay in 1850 & his son James McShea, also of Creevy, who drowned 31 years later on 11 March 1881 at The Ridge Donegal Waters. They were my GGF & GGF. Not having graves to visit was very hard on their families .
That Patrick McShea was my great-great-grandfather too.
@@safedba Patrick's granddaughter & James' daughter, Mary McShea married John Reynolds of Creevy and they were my grandparents. Are you from the same branch of the family or another? Google the song "Donegal Danny" sung by Ronnie Drew of the Dubliners, a sad song about the sole surviver of a Donegal fishing tragedy neat Killibegs. Stay safe from the corona virus.
@@buailebawns2162 James McShea was my Great-grandfather's younger brother by a year or so. Patrick, his brother moved to the US first to Rhode Island and was going to be a priest, but ended up marrying a Margaret Kennedy, and ended up in Connecticut where he did a bunch of things, cigar manufacturing, rifle making, farming - that ended up what the family did. I have a ton of Reynolds on the tree, so we're distant cousins. You can reach me at safedba@gmail
