Of Bookish ThingsDivers find long-lost artifact from sunken Empress of Ireland in St. Lawrence River
Divers find a table-like structure that had once been on the deck of the Empress of Ireland — a ship that sank off the shores of Rimouski, Que. in 1914. More than 1,000 people on board died in the worst peacetime maritime disaster in Canadian history.
