The Last Voyage of The RMS Empress of Ireland
Today we have a shipwreck story for you guys. This is the final voyage of the Empress of Ireland. Just two years after the sinking of the Titanic and months before the outbreak of WW1 the Empress of Ireland was greatly overshadowed but with a passenger death toll greater than the Titanic this story is not forgotten and will forever be known as Canada’s worst maritime disaster.
