Movie description
When the luxury ocean liner Empress of Ireland collided with the Norwegian coal vessel Storstad on May 29, 1914, it took a mere 14 minutes for the ship to disappear beneath the sea, killing 1,012 of the 1,477 people aboard. Using archival photos, underwater photography, animation and interviews with a variety of experts, this fascinating documentary chronicles the story behind Canada's worst nautical disaster of all time.
