This is an official print of the Empress of Britain, in an official Canadian Pacific frame. A Empress of Britain Boarding Pass is included. This was originally owned by Gerald Flak, who had one of the largest maritime collections in the world and lived in Cape Town, South Africa. He passed away about 5 years ago. He had this item refurbished, reframed, and when it was reframed, he mounted the boarding pas in the frame with the print. It is in fine condition.

Dimensions:

Frame: 82 X 62 cm

Picture: 75 X 54 cm


Quote from Wikipedia:

"RMS Empress of Britain was a steam turbine ocean liner built between 1928 and 1931 by John Brown shipyard in Scotland and owned by The Canadian Pacific Steam Ship Company. She was the second of three Canadian Pacific ships named Empress of Britain, which provided scheduled trans-Atlantic passenger service from spring to autumn between Canada and Europe from 1931 until 1939.

In her time Empress of Britain was the largest, fastest and most luxurious ship between the United Kingdom and Canada, and the largest ship in the Canadian Pacific fleet. She was torpedoed on 28 October 1940 by U-32 and sank. At 42,348 GRT she was the largest liner lost in the Second World War and the largest ship sunk by a U-boat."
