Description

View 1937 Empress of Britain Canadian Pacific Liner Postcard London Postmark C472 with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. This vintage postcard features the majestic Canadian Pacific Liner, the Empress of Britain, at 42,500 tons. The sepia-toned image captures the grand steamship in its prime, showcasing its three distinctive funnels and elegant white hull as it cuts through the water. This particular vessel was a flagship of the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company and played a significant role in transatlantic travel during the early 20th century. The reverse side of the postcard provides a wealth of historical context, featuring a clear London postmark dated July 10, 1937. It includes a handwritten message from a passenger sailing on the 'Empress of Britain' addressed to Miami, Florida. The card is franked with a red King George VI one-penny stamp, adding further philatelic interest to this maritime collectible. This piece serves as a wonderful time capsule of pre-war ocean liner travel and Canadian maritime history. The  letter + number  in the title is for my inventory system.
