The book documents the catastrophic sinking of the Canadian liner Empress of Ireland in 1914, one of the deadliest maritime disasters in Canadian history. Through survivors' accounts and various testimonies, it explores the circumstances that led to the disaster, including navigational errors and fog conditions that contributed to the tragedy. The opening of the narrative describes the ill-fated voyage of the Empress of Ireland as it embarks from Quebec filled with eager passengers. As the ship encounters fog on the night of May 29, 1914, the crew, led by Captain Henry George Kendall, attempts to navigate safely. Unfortunately, disaster strikes when the Empress collides with the Norwegian collier Storstad, leading to panic and chaos on board as the ship begins to sink within minutes. Survivors’ harrowing experiences unfold amidst desperate attempts to reach lifeboats and escape the icy waters, setting up an emotional exploration of human courage and loss that continues throughout the book.
