Story of an Empress and Her
Men
The Empress tells us the stories from her maiden voyage,
her voyages as a luxury liner, as a transport for immigrants,
her adventures in World War I and II, and her experiences
as a rescue vessel and troop carrier, all creating a
colorful life. Stories told by Len Butler, the youngest
survivors aboard before she perished into the waters
off Singapore.
We trace her journey from the shipyard in Glasgow, Scotland,
to her home base in Canada, through her journeys to
the Far East and other adventures. Highlight will include a baby girl named Asian which was born at sea on her and
her last days in the war and the story of Len Butler.
