Episode description
In this week's episode, we discuss the 1914 sinking of the Empress of Ireland, Canada's deadliest peacetime disaster at sea.
**Note**
Several times during the episode, we mistakenly refer to the captain of the Empress of Ireland as "Captain Kembell." The captain of the vessel was in fact Henry George Kendall. We apologize for the error.
