Silver-plated sugar bowl, stamped with Canadian Pacific Railway logo on side and Mappin & Webb's Prince's Plate (London) logo on bottom, ex-Empress of Ireland (1914), ex-Malone. 185 grams. 5" in diameter x 2" tall. The Empress of Ireland was a Royal Mail ship that operated in conjunction with the Canadian Pacific Railway in the St. Lawrence River, where she was rammed in heavy fog by another ship and sunk in May of 1914, to the demise of over 1000 people, in fact Canada's worst maritime disaster and sometimes referred to as "Canada's Titanic." This petal-shaped bowl, intact with most of its silver plating minus some oxidation around the rim, contains clear stamps of the Canadian Pacific Railway logo on the side and the manufacturer's information on the bottom. From the Empress of Ireland (1914) with period postcard showing the ship and letter from salvor Bart P. Malone.
