「機会があったら又日本へ」という名残りの言葉と共に,船は奏楽の裡に徐々と埠頭を離れた。 尚此の日の船では楽聖エルマン氏,比島上院議長ケソン氏,比島大学教授エフゼラピー氏,米国駐在?比島委員長等の諸名士があった。(横濱電話)。 * This photo from Robert D. Turner's Pacific Empresses, shows Empress of Asia as she looked in 1937 at the time of the Shanghai evacuations. She and her sister ship, Empress of Russia -- both completed in 1913 -- were built to sail between Vancouver, B.C., and the Orient. Both of the Empresses served as armed merchant cruisers in WWI and as troop transports in WWII. The Russia survived WWII, but she (=Empress of Asia) was destroyed by a fire in dry-dock one month after the war ended(From: The Role of the CPR Ships in World War II, Part Two). |
