Na soithichean HMS Laurentic agus SS Ava dhan cuir fodha. Le Gilleasbuig MacDh貌mhnaill. The events of WW1, including the loss of HMS Laurentic to a mine and SS Ava to a torpedo.

B' e soitheach luath a bh' anns an Laurentic a chaidh a dealbh gu s貌nraichte airson obair cogaidh agus ann an 1910 chaidh a cleachdadh gus stad a chur air an Dotair Crippen an uair a dh'fheuch e ri teicheadh a Chanada. Ach san Fhaoilleach 1917 b' e cargu eile a bh' air b貌rd an Laurentic - 43 tunna de dh'貌r a bh' air a shlighe a Chanada. Stad i aig Lough Swilly an 脠irinn a Tuath gus c貌ignear a bha bochd a chuir air t矛r. Cluinnidh sinn bho Ghilleasbuig MacDh貌mhnaill na thachair 脿s d猫idh sin.

B' e b脿ta cargu armaichte a bh' anns an SS Ava agus dh'fh脿g i Liverpool air a slighe gu Rangoon le cargu de ghual is stuthan eile air b貌rd. Chan fhacas sgeul oirre tuilleadh agus chaidh a cuir fodha le torpedo bhon bh脿t'-aigeil U45 an iar-dheas air Baile Ath Cliath. Chaill 92 am beatha le eileanaich nam measg.
