July 14 1934 - Notable Passengers
The EMPRESS OF ASIA, commanded by E. P. Green, began a Pacific crossing upon sailing from Vancouver on July 14th, 1934. The ship carried some 300 passengers in all classes, with a large number of tourists. To accommodate the number of tourists at meal times, modifications were made to the First Class dining room. Three Oriental tour parties were on board. Annie G. Stewart of Vancouver led a party of 27, R. A. Cromley of Los Angeles led a party of 12, and James E. Mears, of Chicago led a party of 7. The Stewart party will disembark at Yokohama on the eastbound voyage from Manila. The group will undertake a 22-day tour of Japan and rejoin the EMPRESS OF ASIA at Yokohama on her next eastbound voyage and return to British Columbia by way of Honolulu.
