Canada's Titanic: The Empress of Ireland
Description
When the Empress of Ireland sunk beneath the waves of the St. Lawrence River in 1914, the disaster killed nearly as many people as the Titanic. Not as well-known, but just as tragic, “Canada’s Titanic” shook lives and the country to its core. Today in Penny Sized History, I take a quick look at the ship, the disaster and the people it impacted.
