Sgeul cha mh貌r caillte, air mar a chaochail faisg air 700 neach nuair a thug a'Chiad Chogadh slac air cladach 脤le. 'Sa Ghearran 1918 chuir b脿t'-aigeann Gearmailteach torpedo ann an long l脿n shaighdeirean, an Tuscania. Chaill c貌rr is 200 am beatha, eadar saighdeirean Aimeireaganach agus criubha Breatannach. Ochd m矛osan as d猫idh sin, bhuail an HMS Otranto ann an long eile san aona chabhlach, ann an gaillionn eagallach, san do chaochail faisg air 500. Cha d'fhuair ach 19 be貌 air t矛r an 脤le. Sgeul dorcha ach le leus na gaisgeachd air a feadh.

Mar a thug sgiobair calma long-chogaidh 600 neach air b貌rd bhon Otranto mus deach i fodha, is mar a chuir eileanaich iad fh猫in ann an g脿bhadh gus daoine am impis am b脿thadh a shlaodadh gu t矛r. Tha am pr貌gram st猫idhichte air aithrisean a rinneadh aig an 脿m, leothasan a fhuair as be貌, leothasan a chunnaic na thachair, agus le an c脿irdean.

The unknown story of how nearly 700 men died when the impact of World War I crashed onto to the coast of the inner Hebridean island of Islay. In February 1918, the troopship Tuscania was torpedoed by a German U-boat. More than 200 American soldiers and British crew died as lifeboats were dashed against Islay's cliffs. Eight months later, HMS Otranto collided with another ship in its convoy in a terrible storm, killing nearly 500 men. Just 19 reached Islay's shore alive.

The tragic tale is shot through with stories of heroism and self-sacrifice. A fearless destroyer captain snatched 600 men from the stricken Otranto before it sank, and islanders risked their lives to drag half-drowned survivors from the sea.

The programme is based on contemporary accounts of survivors and witnesses, and on interviews with family members of American soldiers, British crewmen and islanders who lived through the tragedies.
