| Monteagle (steamer) | The Canadian Pacific Railway Co. also brought a steamship around from the Atlantic in 1906 to provide a modest improvement in its trans-Pacific service. Early in 1903 the company had purchased the fleet of Elder Dempster (Beaver Line), and it was one of the former Beaver Line vessels, Monteagle, which was added to the Pacific fleet for secondary service with the Empresses, and the Athenian and Tartar, which were near the end of their useful lives. Monteagle was a sturdy, though not spectacular, twin -screw vessel of 5,478 tons, built by Palmers at Yarrow, England in 1899, one of a series of profitable freight and cattle boats, which had seen service as a transport during the South African War. Originally intended to carry orily six passengers, she was refitted at Liverpool before being dispatched to Vancouver, emerging with cabin-class accommodations for 97 passengers and able to provide for as many as a thousand in Oriental steerage. She carried a full cargo of coal to Hong Kong by way of South Africa, saili |
