Empress of Ireland
On May 29, 1914, the RMS Empress of Ireland sank near the mouth of the St. Lawrence River in Canada following a collision in thick fog with the Norwegian collier Storstad. It was on its 96th voyage, departing Quebec City and heading to Liverpool. Aboard were 300 of Canada's top Salvationists en route to the 3rd International Congress in London. 200 of the Salvationists were among the 1012 passengers who perished. Stage actor Laurence Irving and his wife Mabel were also among the deceased.
