The Tragic Story of the Empress of Ireland is an authentic account of one of the most horrible disasters in Canadian history. Soon after leaving Quebec on her voyage to Liverpool with over 1,300 souls on board, she was struck by the Norwegian collier “Storstad” off Father Point, Quebec, on May 29, 1914, at 2.10 a.m., and sank about fifteen minutes later, carrying a thousand of her passengers down with her.
