Princess May (steamship)
''Princess May'' was a steamship built in 1888 which was operated under a number of different names and owners. The ship is best known for having been involved in a grounding in 1910 which left the ship jutting completely out of the water, which became the subject of a famous shipwreck photograph.
==Nomenclature==
This ship, although it served under other names, is best known as the ''Princess May". The Canadian Pacific had a fleet of ocean-going ships with names beginning with “Empress". It was decided that the planned fleet of coastal liners (which in 1901 did not yet exist) would have names beginning with “Princess.”〔Newell, ed., ''McCurdy Marine History,'' at page 65.〕 ''Princess May'' was named after Mary of Teck, who was known as “May”.〔 Later Princess ships were not named after actual princesses, however.
