SS Princess Beatrice
''Princess Beatrice'' was a steamship built for and owned by the marine division of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The ship served from 1903 to 1928 in the coastal waters of British Columbia. The ship also operated on Puget Sound on a route from Victoria, British Columbia to Seattle, Washington. ''Princess Beatrice'' was the first ship to operate in the year-round steamship service between Seattle and Victoria that was run by CPR from 1904 to 1959. This ship should not be confused with an earlier ''Princess Beatrice'', built in Scotland in 1874, which served on the Atlantic coast of Canada.
