Empress of Ireland - Shepherd Moons

[SuperTitanicfreak]

A Beautiful song for such a beautiful ship. Empress Of Ireland. May we, unlike the people for much of the 20th Century, never forget her.

[pressXf0rseX]

is it me or did all the cruise ships back then sink lol?

[SuperTitanicfreak]

the Empress of Ireland look like a mini Olympic in her last year. So sad that she took all but 400 people with. The Empress of Ireland had the least amout of survivors out of all the sinkings of Great Ships.

[SuperTitanicfreak]

Man, the Empress of Ireland was such a beautiful Ocean Liner. I know it's sad that she sank, but at least it's better than being scrapped.

[SuperTitanicfreak]

Empress of Britain & Empress of Ireland. Before Lusitania & Mauretania, These Ocean Liners were absolutly beautiful

[amentze1]

The Empress of Ireland was a beautiful ship.

Great video. This music was used in the National geographic film "The Last Voyage of the Lusitania."

[Superdeath25]

i read that some victims were asleep when they died. also, many life boats were not launched

[TheMacca94]

only 4 boats were launced before the angle became to sleep

8 more PASSENGERS died aboard this ship than on board the titanic

[90Rhapsody]

The story of the Empress of Ireland really touched me when i went to the Museum of Father Point in Rimouski.

(musée de la mer) If i make a quick translation its(Museum of the sea)Something like that...For the people who live close to Rimouski go there for a day thats worth it^^

[thwepz]

that was faster than the lusitania. must have been a big ass hole in the ship

[glodsbride86]

admitadly she was not anywhere as big as the lusitani

[TheMacca94]

she was 570 feet long, while the titanic was 882 and the lusitania was 787 feet long

also, the empress of irelands top speed was 18 knots, while the lusitanias was 28 knots

[kolordak]

psalm 23:«the Lord is their shepherd even thought He makes them walks through the valley of death, he makes them rest(under the green sea)»

[Titanicfreak9]

and in only 14 minutes... over a thousand lives were taken... the buitiful ship gone from daylight and night... never to see both of them again. she left the world in a hurry. Only to leave The fear of death... Then over shadowed by the great war,

[DUDECOWSYR]

I live 1 hour from the site. A lot of sad stories.

[XxDaniellemcAxX]

[DocRiv]

im only part isrish sadly but i wish i actually lived across the sea in ireland its beautiful

[blablablahy]

she went down stern first, pretty sure...

[boredness12321]

in what way did she sink bow 1st complete capesize??? can any1 tell me!!!!

[asscheaks]

she listed to her starboard

[ultradumbass]

an interesting fact is that captain kendall, is the one who radioed dr. crippin who chopped her head in northern lonodn. inspector dew came quickly to rimouski, making it the first person to ever arrest a man over raido by sea. dr. crippin said he would suffer for this. in 4 minutes he was found guilty making it the second shortest trial ever and hung. 7 years later, only a few miles from the arrest is where the empress sank with kendall who managed to survive.

So sorry about this tragedy, very nice of you to pay tribute, music is good for this I think.

BTW folks you can stop and read the words or just hit more on "About this video" and the words are there to read.

[Titanicfreak9]

i like

this song

[TK42100]

No problem.

[TK42100]

Great video. The text you compiled was somewhat hard to read though. Just my $0.02.

[tcr2006]

Yeah, I realized that after I put it up, but decided that I'd see how everything went with it. Unfortunately, it would seem that the compression done by Youtube worsened it slightly at parts. Thank you for your comment.
