Description

"From Vancouver the Canadian Pacific maintains steamship services not only to Victoria and Seattle, but also to Alaska, the west coast of Vancouver Island, China, Japan and the Philippine Islands. The magnificent Empresses of the Pacific are the largest, finest and fastest to the Orient."
