EDITORS COMMENTS
This cross-section print by renowned artist G. H. Davis showcases the intricate interior of the RMS Empress of Britain, a magnificent ocean liner that graced the waves during the 1930s. Owned by the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company, this luxurious vessel was a marvel of maritime engineering, carrying both mail and passengers on transatlantic voyages. The ship's sleek design and opulent accommodations epitomized the golden age of ocean travel. The Empress of Britain, depicted in this detailed diagram, was launched in 1931 and measured an impressive 790 feet in length. Her grandeur is evident in the meticulously rendered rooms, from the spacious staterooms and elegant dining rooms to the grand ballroom and the ship's impressive engine room. Sadly, the Empress of Britain's storied history came to an abrupt end in 1940 when she was torpedoed and sunk by the German U-boat U-32. This tragic event marked the end of an era for the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company and the ocean liner industry as a whole. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the grandeur and elegance of ocean travel during the 1930s and the intricacies of the ships that made it possible. G. H. Davis' masterful artwork invites us to explore the Empress of Britain's luxurious interior, transporting us back in time to an era of glamour and adventure on the high seas.
