This beautiful reproduction poster has been re-mastered from a 1950’s advertising poster for the Canadian Pacific's Saint Lawrence Route to Europe via their luxury steamship line.

The vibrant colors and detail of this classic image have been painstakingly brought back to life to preserve a great piece of history.

 

The high-resolution image is printed on heavy archival photo paper, on a large-format, professional giclée process printer. The poster is shipped in a rigid cardboard tube, and is ready for framing.

 

The 13"x19" format is an excellent image size that looks great as a stand-alone piece of art, or as a grouped visual statement. These posters require no cutting, trimming, or custom sizing, and a wide variety of 13"x19" frames are readily available at your local craft or hobby retailer, and online.

 

A great vintage print for your home, shop, or business!

 

CANADIAN PACIFIC SHIPS – WHITE EMPRESS FLEET

 

CP Ships was a large Canadian shipping company established in the 19th century. From the late 1880s until after World War II, the company was Canada's largest operator of Atlantic and Pacific steamships. Many immigrants travelled from Europe to Canada on CP ships known as the White Empress Fleet. The White Empress Fleet carried the names: Empress of Britain, Empress of Canada, Empress of Ireland, Empress of Asia, Empress of China, and Empress of Australia.

 

The sinking of the steamship RMS Empress of Ireland was the largest maritime disaster in Canadian history. The company provided Canadian Merchant Navy vessels in World Wars I and II. Twelve vessels were lost due to enemy action in World War II including the largest ship sunk by a German U-boat.

 

The company moved to a model of container shipping from passenger, freight and mail service in the 1960s due to competitive pressure from the airline industry. The company was a part of the Canadian Pacific Ltd. conglomerate. It was spun out as a separate company in 2001. In 2005, it was purchased by TUI AG and is now part of the company's Hapag-Lloyd division.

 

The Atlantic and Pacific passenger liners of Canadian Pacific were always British-flagged and largely British-manned and were not part of the Canadian Merchant Marine, ownership being with the British-registered Canadian Pacific Steamships Ltd. subsidiary.
