Talk about it...

commented on Jul 27, 2014

The ships name was the Empress of Ireland and while it was headed to the Atlantic, it was in fact in the St. Lawrence seaway still when the collision with another ship occurred. I have not yet see any verification of the story that the Salvation Army band members gave up their life jackets although it does sound plausible. The ship sank in just 15 minutes so there was not a lot of time for heroics of any kind.
