New on Ancestry — Canadian Pacific Steamship Company Records, 1897-1981

If your ancestor travelled on a Canadian Pacific steamship during the last century, you may find them listed in Ancestry’s newest Canadian collection, Canadian Pacific Steamship Company Records, 1897-1981.

If your ancestor worked on a steamship, this collection may tell you their occupation, date of employment, birth date, or place of usual residence. You may also find an employment history which summarizes your ancestor’s time with the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company.

The Canadian Pacific Steamship Company operated the RMS Empress of Scotland from 1921 to 1930. The steamship, photographed before the First World War, was first called SS Kaiserin Auguste Victoria and was operated by the Hamburg America Line.
