Alondra (shipwreck)

She sank on 29 December 1916, in the North Atlantic after running aground at Kedge Rock in Baltimore, County Cork, Ireland.

[2] In 1899, David J. Dunlop of Port Glasgow, Renfrewshire, Scotland, built Alondra for the London-based Rio Tinto Company.

After Alondra struck Kedge Rock, 16 of her crew were able to get aboard one of the ship's lifeboats, but they drowned before they could reach safety.

When the sun rose, he and his lifeboat crew set out a third time using a rocket apparatus and managed to reach the vessel.

The film was made in collaboration with the RNLI and the Baltimore Drama Group, and featured Pat Flaherty, Tadhg Collins, Michael Walsh, Cornie Bohane, Rupert Stutchbury, and Bernie O’Driscoll.
