Launched on January 26, 1906, the Empress of Ireland, along with her sister ship Empress of Britain, was a transatlantic ocean liner owned by the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company that sailed between Quebec City, Canada, and Liverpool, England. She sank in 1914 after colliding with the Norwegian Storstad in an incident which claimed 1,012 lives, making it the worst maritime disaster in Canadian history. Her sinking was overshadowed by World War I and became a forgotten tragedy.
