March 7 1931 - Notable Passengers
The EMPRESS OF ASIA, commanded by L. D. Douglas concluded a Pacific crossing upon reaching Vancouver on March 7th, 1931. While in the Orient the ship received an annual overhaul at Kowloon. The ship carried a very light passenger list of 103 persons with 14 First Class, 13 Second Class, 4 Third Class and 72 Steerage. The light passenger list was attributed to the economic affects of the Depression. A fair cargo was reported including 500 tons of raw silk that was expedited to New York by a special Canadian Pacific train of 10 cars that awaited the ship at Vancouver.
