The Great Drowning of Men refers to a historical event that occurred in 1782 in Ireland. It was a tragic incident in which a large group of men attending a fair in the town of Portrush drowned when they were swept out to sea by a powerful wave.
According to reports, the men had gathered on the seaside cliffs to watch a shipwreck off the coast when a massive wave suddenly hit the group, dragging them into the water. It is estimated that around 130 men lost their lives in the tragedy.
The Great Drowning of Men is remembered as one of the deadliest maritime disasters in Irish history and serves as a reminder of the dangers of the sea and the unpredictable nature of the ocean. Each year, on the anniversary of the event, a memorial service is held to honor the lives lost in the tragedy.
