Description: The Empress of Ireland is one of the world's great shipwrecks. It was a wooden ship, roughly the size of the Titanic, and when it collided with another ship, the Empress was completely submerged in about 14 minutes into the frigid waters of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Nearly everyone died on the wreck... I was photographing an article for Divers Magazine. The week after we were there, someone died scuba diving.
Location: Rimouski, Canada
