VIDEO: Courtmacsherry remembers Lusitania victims with touching tribute at sea

One West Cork community marked the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania with a poignant commemoration at the site of the wreckage.

A number of boats left Courtmacsherry this afternoon, including the RNLI lifeboat, and travelled approximately 18km to the location of the sinking off the coast of Cork.
