The transpacific liner Empress of China is shown alongside a wharf in Vancouver c. 1900. The ship is shown disembarking passengers and unloading cargos under a full moon shining through passing rain clouds. One of Canadian Pacifics ‘flying Empresses,’ the Empress of China and her sister ships helped elevate Vancouver from a sleepy mill town and colonial backwater into a thriving port and gateway to the Orient which it remains today.
