Brief History of the SS Canada of the Dominion Line

The CANADA was an 8,806 gross ton ship built by Harland & Wolff, Belfast, in 1896 for the Dominion Line. Her details were - length 500.4 ft x beam 58.2 ft, one funnel, two masts, twin screw, and a speed of 15 knots.

There was accommodation for 200 First Class Passengers, 200 Second Class Passengers, and 800 Third class passengers. She was launched on 14 May 1896 and sailed from Liverpool on her maiden voyage to Québec and Montréal on 1 October 1896.

After two round voyages, she was transferred on 23 December 1896 to the Liverpool-Boston service. From November 1899 to late 1902, she was used as a transport ship for the Boer War, and on 19 March 1903, she went on the Liverpool-Halifax-Boston run.

At this time, she was rebuilt to a tonnage of 9,413 tons, and on 22 April 1903, she resumed the Liverpool-Quebec-Montreal service. In November 1909, she was further altered to carry 463-second class and 755 third-class passengers.

On 22 August 1914, she commenced her last voyage from Liverpool to Québec and Montréal. She was used on the return passage to carry part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force to Europe.

In November 1918, she resumed the Liverpool-Portland service until 13 August 1926, when she commenced her last voyage from Liverpool to Québec and Montréal. She was scrapped in Italy later in 1926.
