The SS Empress of Ireland left Quebec City on May 28, 1914, at 16:30/4:30 p.m. local time. The ship carried a total of 1,477 passengers and crew. It was struck by the Norwegian coal freighter SS Storstad the following morning at 2:00/2:00 a.m., in heavy fog. There were only 465 survivors from the collision and sinking. The final death toll was 1,012, of which 134 were children and 279 women.
