Looking for model

[Tammy HertayParticipant @tammyhertay76269]

My grandfather came across to canada on this boat. It is my wish to buy a model because I already have the manefest and want to make a shadow box for my father. It would mean the world to him

 

Thanks

Tammy

Hi Tammy,

 

The chances of finding a commercially produced model of this ship is virtually nil although you could commission a small version but this would cost maybe £500 or so.

 

There are references to the ship on the Internet. She was later renamed Empress of France. Some links below:

The postcard of the ship below is from my Father’s collection. I can email you a copy if you wish.

 

Regards.

 

Colin
