Boarded at Queenstown. Third Class
From: Ballinoe, White’s Cross, Upper Glanmire, County Cork
Destination: Mrs Burns, 41 Washington Street, Charlestown, Massachusetts.
    Jeremiah Burke [19] is the passenger fabled to have thrown a despairing message in a bottle from the decks of the sinking Titanic. Miraculously, the bottle washed up on the shoreline just a short distance from his home in Ireland just over a year later.
    Jeremiah’s grieving family believed the message found by a coachman on the shore at Dunkettle, close to their home, was authentic.
    The message reads: ‘From Titanic. Good Bye all. Burke of Glanmire, Cork’.
    Kate Burke, his mother, recognised her son’s handwriting. She announced that the bottle was the same holy water bottle she had given to her boy on the day of his departure.
