Journey to the Empress

The Journey to the Empress Video is from back in 1995 from 2 expeditions to the “Empress of Ireland” in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (1993 & 1994). This was stored away on an S-VHS tape. I just recently repaired the S-VHS tape deck and stumbled across this when exploring some old tapes. It’s not Hi-Def, just Standard Def, but not bad condition considering its 23 years old.

RMS Empress of Ireland was an ocean liner belonging to the Canadian Pacific Railway. The ship was in a collision with the collier Storstad on May 29th, 1914 and sank in the St. Lawrence River in 14 minutes. A total of 1012 people died in this most tragic maritime disaster in Canadian history.
