orient fortyfive years ago the first ship ever to fly the houseflag of the canadian pacific a flag that has since found its way into practically every port in the world bet out from port moody bc she was the barquerigged steamer abyssinia and such a marvel was she that the modest artist referred to transferred her graceful shape to canvas with painstaking detail another artist chancing upon the picture imposed it upon a photo graph of the latest canadian pacific ship in the orient trade the magni ficent empress of japan they are shown above in exact proportion as they would have appeared passing each other on tho broad wastes of the pacific some idea of the development of shipping in the 45 yeara may be gained by a comparison the abyssinia was 363 feet six inches long 42 j3 feet wide had a tonnage of3376 and a speed of 16 knots the empress of japan is 670 feet long 874 feet wide has a tonnage of 26000 and during her recordbreaking passages between vancouver victoria yokohama shanghai hong kong and manila has developed as high as 23 knots morothan half as fast again a strange coincidence is that tho abyssinia was chartered from w g poarce who later became the fairfield shipbuilding company which famous clydeside shipyard built the empress of japan two years ago
