Empress of Ireland Model

RMS Empress of Ireland Ocean Liner Model Cruise Ship 32.5"

This high quality, highly detailed, expert level, RMS Empress of Ireland cruise ship model is brand new, fully assembled and ready for display (not a kit).

This RMS Empress of Ireland model ship was specially designed & built by the plank on bulkhead method (joining multiple small pieces of wood like Rosewood, Mahogany, Teak and other exotic tropical wood together on the hull). The cruise ship model is built exactly to scale and painted as the original RMS Empress of Ireland Ocean Liner was. The task required skillful craftsmen hundreds of hours to accomplish.

RMS Empress of Ireland was an ocean liner that sank in the Saint Lawrence River following a collision with a Norwegian collier in the early hours of 29 May 1914. Of the 1,477 persons on board the ship, the accident claimed the lives of 1,012 (840 passengers, 172 crew). The number of deaths is the largest of any Canadian maritime accident in peacetime.

The Empress was built by Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering at Govan on the Clyde in Scotland and was launched in 1906. The liner, along with her sister ship Empress of Britain, was commissioned by Canadian Pacific Steamships (CP) for the North Atlantic route between Quebec and Liverpool in England. The ship had just begun her 96th sailing when she sank.

The wreck lies in 40 metres (130 ft) of water, making it accessible to divers. Many artifacts from the wreckage have been retrieved. Some are on display in the Empress of Ireland Pavilion at the Site historique maritime de la Pointe-au-Père in Rimouski, Quebec. The Canadian government has passed legislation to protect the site.

Numerous books have been written about the sinking of the Empress and several films have been made. In January 2012, the Norwegian Radio NRK P2 broadcast a radio documentary. The article "RMS Empress of Ireland" is part of the Wikipedia encyclopedia. HTTPS://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Empress_of_Ireland

The model measures 32.5" long from bow to stern. It's a beautiful model ocean liner that will be a conversation piece for any room or office.
