Fourteen minutes : the last voyage of the Empress of Ireland / James Croall

• On 28th May, 1914, the Empress of Ireland, a 14 000 ton Canadian Pacific ocean liner, sailed from Quebec to her doom. Only hours into her voyage she ran into thick fog on the St Lawrence River, and collided with the Norwegian collier Storstad. Within fourteen minutes the vast liner had sunk to her watery grave. And over a thousand people were drowned.
