Were both Empress of Japan I and II known as "Queen of the Pacific"? According to the references, both held speed records for crossing the Pacific, but the reference for that nickname only discusses Empress II, not the 1890 version. Bobanny 16:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the brackets from the name of the 2nd ship, in the same way the Queen doesn't go by Queen Elizabeth (II) or the guy on Gilligan's Island isn't Thurston Howl (III). If I'm wrong, feel free to put them back, but please explain why they are required.Bobanny 21:59, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't there also an Empress of India?

[edit]

Yes -- see List of ocean liners or see CP Ships. --Tenmei (talk) 14:24, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Found lots of data on the Captain of this ship Henry Pybus

[edit]

The Captain of the Empress of Japan, retired in Vancouver, and worked extensively as a patron of arts and science, in addition his accendants became pillars of the Vancouver community, as the late Lt. Govenor Henry PybusBell- Bell-Irving . I would like Wikpedia's permission to write an article with the information I find. However, most paper sources of data will be added in the future as this article adapts. Is this permissible to write this report? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samsamcat (talkcontribs) 02:09, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
