July 9 1914 - Notable Passengers

The EMPRESS OF ASIA, commanded by Samuel Robinson, began a Pacific crossing upon sailing from Vancouver on July 9th, 1914. 

A light cargo was carried on this voyage with less than 2,000 tons on board. 

On this voyage the ship was scheduled to include a stop at Manila and mail was included for delivery at this city.

The ship was slightly delayed at Victoria until fog had lifted.

On this voyage the EMPRESS OF ASIA had a new Purser, E. Snyder, who formerly was Purser on the MONTEAGLE and EMPRESS OF INDIA. 

After arrival at Hong Kong war fears resulted in the requisition of the ship by the Royal Navy and conversion into an Auxiliary Cruiser.  The EMPRESS OF ASIA would not return to the Trans-Pacific mercantile trade until 1916.

The ship carried 60 Saloon passengers and 200 Steerage passengers.
