This print captures a significant moment in maritime history. The image showcases the majestic Empress of Canada, formerly known as the Duchess of Richmond, embarking on her first post-war voyage to Canada from Liverpool. As she sets sail, this 20,000-ton vessel becomes the pioneer in restoring passenger liner service with the great Dominion. Having played a vital role during World War II, including participating in Mediterranean landings, the Empress of Canada now stands proudly after undergoing a complete transformation. This remarkable ship has been entirely re-converted to provide an unparalleled experience for its passengers. The photograph portrays the bustling scene at Mersey Docks in Liverpool as men and males work diligently to ensure a smooth departure for this iconic ocean liner.
