Ah, the lovely EMPRESS OF CANADA! One of my favorite (and highly under-appreciated) post-war liners. She was broken up in 2004, but you can buy a piece of her at: http://www.midshipcentury.com/empressofcanada.shtml I highly recommend the book "The Last White Empresses" by Clive Harvey, which details the history of this ship and her two older half-sisters, EMPRESS OF BRITAIN and EMPRESS OF ENGLAND. The only one still around is the former EMPRESS OF BRITAIN, now THE TOPAZ, which celebrates her 50th birthday this year. I visited her in June: http://shiploverny.smugmug.com/gallery/1582266 She is vastly changed from her original state but still a most fascinating vessel. And I do apologize if anyone is finding this off-topic chatter annoying, but on joining I was told that OT stuff is welcome at PDML, so there ;-)!
