Notable Passengers

The EMPRESS OF ASIA, commanded by A. V. R. Lovegrove, concluded a Pacific crossing upon reaching Vancouver on August 1^st, 1932. On the voyage the ship experienced smooth seas and plenty of fog that made it necessary to sound the horn continuously for 6 days.

The ship carried a cargo that included 3,118 bales of silk of which 450 were discharged at Victoria to the H. F. ALEXANDER for delivery to San Francisco. From San Francisco this silk would be sent to New York via the Panama Canal. The remainder of the silk aboard the EMPRESS OF ASIA would be discharged at Vancouver for transport by fast train to the East.
