Empress of Ireland - Shepherd Moons
Loading...
Uploaded by tcr2006 on Jun 30, 2007
On May 28, 1914, at 16:30 local time, the Canadian Pacific RMS Empress of Ireland departed Quebec City for Liverpool under the command of Captain Henry G. Kendall. She had 1477 passengers and crew aboard her.
At 02:00, May 29, in a heavy fog, the Empress of Ireland collided with the Norwegian collier Storstad. The Storstad stayed afloat, the Empress of Ireland would not. The Empress of Ireland would sink, taking 1012 passengers and crewmen with her. She would sink within fourteen minutes.

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.

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.

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

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.
