Best Answer

It takes less time to sink a big ship than to build it. One example's the Empress of Ireland, which was built in 1905-1906. As a mail carrier between Great Britain and Hong Kong by way of Canada, it was ka the RMS Empress of Ireland, with RMS standing for Royal Mail Ship. Otherwise, it was considered a steamship ka the SS Empress of Ireland. On May 29, 1914, it was struck by the SS Storstad, a Norwegian coal freighter. The quick sinking of the Empress, and the loss of 1,012 lives, on the St. Lawrence River, made the collision the worst disaster on Canadian waters in Canadian history.
