Take a journey back in time to learn the story of the most
devastating maritime disaster in Canadian history and
discover why those who venture to her watery grave brave
the elements of the river and the dangers of herself.
On her first trip of the summer
of 1914 the Empress of Ireland sailed away from her berth
in Quebec Harbour bound across the North Atlantic to
Liverpool, England.
Fate,
however, had disaster in store for the
Empress of Ireland and in a veiling fog
the collier, Storstad, was to pierce her
hull and send the Empress to the bottom
of the St. Lawrence River. The
Empress of Ireland took all but 462 of
the 1477 souls on board with her.
Today, the Empress of Ireland still lies
in her resting place occasionally
visited by those divers who brave the
cold dark depths, the racing currents,
and the myriad of possible entrapments
that exist inside her forbidding hull.
