RMS Empress of Japan, also known as the "Queen of the Pacific", was an ocean liner built in 1890-1891 by Naval Construction & Armament Co., Barrow, England for Canadian Pacific Steamships (CP). This ship -- the first of two CP vessels to be named Empress of Japan -- regularly traversed the trans-Pacific route between the west coast of Canada and the Far East until 1922. The RMS Empress of Japan and her two running mates - the RMS Empress of China and the RMS Empress of India - created a flexible foundation for the CPR trans-Pacific fleet which would ply this route for the next half century.

  • RMS Empress of Japan, also known as the "Queen of the Pacific", was an ocean liner built in 1890-1891 by Naval Construction & Armament Co., Barrow, England for Canadian Pacific Steamships (CP). This ship -- the first of two CP vessels to be named Empress of Japan -- regularly traversed the trans-Pacific route between the west coast of Canada and the Far East until 1922. Over the course of her career, the Empress traversed 4 million kilometres (2.5 million miles). She made 315 Pacific crossings. In 1891, Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) and the British government reached agreement on a contract for subsidized mail service between Britain and Hong Kong via Canada; and the route began to be serviced by three specially designed ocean liners. Each of these three vessels was given an Imperial name. The RMS Empress of Japan and her two running mates - the RMS Empress of China and the RMS Empress of India - created a flexible foundation for the CPR trans-Pacific fleet which would ply this route for the next half century.
