What are the elements of an adventure? Fortune and fame, mystery and intrigue? Perhaps an element of suspense or uncertainty? Definitely some treasure or priceless artifact should be involved, don't you think?

While adventures certainly come in many shapes and forms, each according to the adventurer, I can assure you that the Empress Adventure you are about to read is filled with all of the above, in one form or another. It's a tale of friendship, history and fate, intertwined for a few short days to become a journey I would never forget. Covering 2,500 miles in just 5 days, follow me to Rimouski in Northern Quebec, then on to Pointe au Pere and the actual resting place of Empress of Ireland. Meet some of the people who have been involved in her story for the past 30 some-odd years. Read this tale as it happened, in my words.

My Empress Adventure began with a seemingly innocuous email. Where it has taken me is farther than I could have ever imagined. Where it will end is hard to imagine...

Somehow, I doubt it's over
