I wanted to take a few minutes today to thank all of you who read my July 13th post "Canadian Maritime History 101: Canadian Pacific Line's EMPRESS of BRITAIN" because not only did I actually have alotta fun writing that piece as well as collecting the images for it, but it means a lot to me that each of you took the time to learn about one of my most favorite ocean liner's as well as a ship that was once Canada's symbol of national pride on the Seven Seas and beyond.
And I meant what I said in that piece too - I dont want her story to ever be forgotten, People all over the world, but especially today's Canadian citizens, need to know of her existence. In fact, if I had it my way, the story of the EMPRESS of BRITAIN would be included in every Canadian history book in print from now until the end of time itself. But dont you Canadians think I'm singling you out on this, I feel the same exact way about the American ocean liner UNITED STATES which has been wasting away in the port of Philadelphia for several decades now. It does indeed go without saying that I will be writing again about both of these extraordinary liners in the near future. Thank you for reading
