A SEA tragedy that sparked a 26 day search for five lost fishermen has been remembered in a moving church service in West Cork.
Exactly a year after the Tit Bonhomme fishing trawler hit rocks and foundered in Glandore Harbour, the families of those lost gathered in grief at St Bridget’s Church in Union Hall.
