Sinking of The RMS Leinster
On the morning of October 10th, 1918 at 9.45am, the mail-boat RMS Leinster, belonging to the City of Dublin Steam Packet, Company, left Kingstown Pier (Dún Laoghaire) bound for Holyhead. The 2,646 tons vessel carried 771 men, women and children, including crew, civilian passengers and 492 individual soldiers and sailors going on leave or returning.
She had been attacked on the December 27, 1917, by a German submarine whose torpedo missed its mark, and since then had been defensively armed with a single 12-pounder gun. About an hour after leaving Kingstown the Leinster was 11 miles east, south east of the Kish Light Vessel.
At that point, without warning, she was struck by a torpedo from the submarine UB 123. A second torpedo struck her some minutes later. The engine room was blown out, and she sank thirteen minutes after the first impact.
The lifeboats were launched, and SOS messages were sent; after about an hour, two old destroyers and other vessels arrived from Kingstown and Holyhead and combined in the work of saving life. But, in spite of the energy of the rescuers and the heroism of individuals from the Leinster, over 500 persons lost their lives.
Of these, 145 officers and men including members of the Royal Navy and Mercantile Marine, whose bodies were recovered, are buried in Grangegorman Military Cemetery, Dublin. A further 142 officers and men of the Army, one nurse and one civilian messenger are commemorated at Hollybrook Cemetery, Southampton; 39 of the crew, including the Master, Captain William Birch are commemorated on the Merchant Navy Tower Hill Memorial, London.
