Empress of Fort William

Empress of Fort William was requisitioned for war service on March 10, 1915, and initially worked in the coal trade between Sydney, Nova Scotia, and Montreal. It later headed overseas for similar work and was part of a 200-ship convoy when it was lost. A nearby ship, the liner Maloja, hit a mine on Feb. 27, 1916, and when Empress of Fort William sought to provide aid, it hit another mine and sank about two miles south of Dover, England. All on board the company ship were saved but 122 lives were lost on Maloja.
