Caption on image: C.P.R. COS S.S. Princess May wrecked on Sentinel Island, Alaska Aug. 5 1910 .

Handwritten on mount: PRINCESS MAY

PH Coll 1329.15

The PRINCESS MAY was southbound from Skagway, AK, with about 100 passengers and a crew of 68 on August 5, 1910. She was feeling her way cautiously down Lynn Canal in a heavy fog when she struck the reef, driving well up onto the rocks, so that at low tide she lay high and dry in a most remarkable position, her bow high in the air at a 23-degree angle. She was owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway at the time, and she was returned to service in 1911 after costly repairs to her hull, which was badly damaged by the rocks.
