Summary
In November 2019, Beaver Island forum participants commemorated the 1935 Arranmore boating disaster and debated how many people died. The thread links to external genealogical and broadcast resources but preserves disagreement over the casualty count and family details.
Evidence limits
This record preserves a community-memory discussion, not a verified casualty list or civil/maritime record. The initial “15” and later “19 or more” should not be merged into an established figure without stronger sources.
Sources
- The discussion memorialized an Arranmore disaster remembered as occurring in 1935, corrected an initial count of 15 deaths to a possible 19 or more, discussed a sole survivor and recovered bodies, and linked to Donegal Genealogy and RTÉ archival material. The forum participants explicitly acknowledged uncertainty and family-memory limits; the casualty count and family details require primary or authoritative Irish sources before being treated as established.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 14 · t014849
