The Empress of Ireland, of Titanic proportions...two ships passing in the <strike>night</strike>...Fog.

<!--QuoteBegin-"wikipedia"+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE ("wikipedia")</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->The cause of the tragedy was disputed by the surviving crew of the Empress of Ireland and the crew of Storstad. There has been much speculation as to the circumstances of the sinking. One theory involves the positioning of the ships when both encountered the fogbank. According to testimony, Capt. Kendall claimed that he stayed close to shore, encountered the fog, reversed his engines to stop for about 8 minutes, and was rammed by the Storstad, who was executing a hard, 90-degree turn to the starboard. Another theory has the Empress sailing north-northeast into the center of the channel, right into the path of the Storstad. In 1914, the position of ships in darkness could be determined by the lights they were showing. White lights mounted on the two main masts were read in conjunction with the red and green lights indicating port and starboard. A ship showing green to starboard, red to port and one white mast light would be coming directly at the observing vessel. This was the case on that night and both captains expected to pass each other "green to green". As the fog rolled across the river between the two vessels, what happened next has never been totally clarified.
A ship showing two white mast lights and one green light would be lying across the path of the approaching vessel, exposing the starboard side. A captain in 1914, familiar with the St. Lawrence river, would reasonably be expected to have avoided a collision, if he had been able to see the lights on time. As the Storstad crashed into the Empress it is likely that the fog obscured the other ship until it was too late to take evasive action.
Either the Empress strayed across the Storstad's bows, or the Storstad crossed the Empress's path from port to starboard and executed a 90 degree turn to pierce her starboard side.

There ya go! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

In case you're wondering why I picked that ship: The Empress was the vessel my ancestors immigrated from Ireland to Canada on <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
