RMS Empress of China (1890)
RMS ''Empress of China'' was an ocean liner built in 1890-1891〔The disambiguation date used in this article's title is not the year in which the hull is launched, but rather the year of the vessel's sea trial or maiden voyage.〕 by Naval Construction & Armament Co., Barrow, England for Canadian Pacific Steamships (CP).〔Simplon Postcards: ( ''Empress of China'', 3 images )〕 This ship—the first of three CP vessels to be named ''Empress of China''〔The second of three ships named SS ''Empress of China'' (1908) was built for Norddeutscher Lloyd Line (NDL), purchased by CP in 1921, then re-named; and the third SS ''Empress of China'' (1919) was built for Hamburg America Line (HAPAG), purchased by CP in 1921, then re-named.〕—regularly traversed the trans-Pacific route between the west coast of Canada and the Far East until she struck an underwater reef and sank in Tokyo harbour in 1911.〔Ship List: ( Description of ''Empress of China'' )〕
==Royal Mail Ship==
In 1891, Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) and the British government reached agreement on a contract for subsidized mail service between Britain and Hong Kong via Canada; and the route began to be serviced by three specially designed ocean liners. Each of these three vessels was given an Imperial name.〔Miller, William H. (1984). ''The First Great Ocean Liners in Photographs,'' p. 52.〕
The RMS ''Empress of China'' and her two running mates, the RMS ''Empress of India'' and the RMS ''Empress of Japan'', created a flexible foundation for the CPR trans-Pacific fleet which would ply this route for the next half century.〔
