SS Princess Sophia
The SS ''Princess Sophia'' was a steel-built coastal passenger liner in the coastal service fleet of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). Along with the SS ''Princess Adelaide'' the SS ''Princess Alice'' and the SS ''Princess Mary'', the SS ''Princess Sophia'' was one of four sister ships built for CPR during 1910-1911.〔(Cruising the Pacific Northwest ), (1910-1911 sister ships )〕
On 25 October 1918, the ''Sophia''〔This vessel was generally referred to as the ''Sophia'' for short. See McCurdy, at 300, for Captain Ledbetter's first hand account in which he refers to the vessel in this manner.〕 sank with the loss of all aboard after grounding on Vanderbilt Reef in Lynn Canal near Juneau, Alaska. With 343 or more people dying in the incident, the wreck of the ''Princess Sophia'' was the worst maritime accident in the history of British Columbia and Alaska. The circumstances of the wreck were controversial, as some felt that all aboard could have been saved.
==The Inside Passage==
Beginning in 1901, Canadian Pacific Railway ran a line of steamships on the west coast of Canada and the southeast coast of Alaska. The route from Victoria, BC and Vancouver, BC ran through the winding channels and fjords along the coast, stopping at the principal towns for passengers, cargo, and mail. This route is still important today and is called the Inside Passage. Major ports of call along the Inside Passage include Prince Rupert, BC; Alert Bay, BC; Wrangell, AK; Ketchikan, AK; Juneau, AK; and Skagway, AK.
