Home > RMS Empress of Ireland

The 14,191 ton ocean liner Empress of Ireland linked the Canadian Pacific Line with its parent company, Canadian Pacific Railway.

At 2:00 a.m. on May 29, 1914, while sailing to Liverpool in the Saint Lawrence River near Pointe-au-Pere, the Empress of Ireland collided with the Norwegian coal freighter Storstad. The Storstad did not sink, but the Empress of Ireland sank quickly, killing 1,012 out of the 1,477 people aboard.
