Summary

Description

Not an unknown photo, but well worth another look.

"C.P.R. Co. S.S. Princess May wrecked on Sentinel Isl. Alaska" Photo by W.H. Case, Major Matthews Collection.

She was launched as the 'Cass' in 1888, and served along the China coast. She was sold and renamed several times, and incidents included a mutiny and a pirate attack. In 1910, under CPR ownership, she ran up onto rocks in heavy fog. She was refloated and repaired. She was sold again, and served into the 1930s. [Wikipedia]
