Book excerpt: The Shipwreck of the Empress of Ireland was the most horrible marine disaster in Canadian maritime history. Having taken place two years after the Titanic sinking, the Empress of Ireland had more than enough lifeboats onboard, yet the passengers didn't have time to use them as the boat foundered in only 14 minutes. Besides the history of the Empress of Ireland, Logan Marshall collected the most spectacular maritime disasters of different times in one book.
