White Star Line

The title of this work “White Star Line” refers to the ship the Titanic, and also the company that ran the shipping line. The Titanic’s last port of call was Cobh, Co Cork, Ireland. This recording was created using electronics and field recordings made at, on and under the actual pier that the last passengers crossed to board the boats that brought them out to the Titanic which was moored nearby in the harbour. McCarthy made the field recordings that are included in these tracks on the 14th -15th April 2012, the centenary of the sinking of the ship.
