About this ebook
The sinking of the Empress of Ireland in 1914 was far more tragic than the Titanic in the opinion of those few who know. For one thing, more people died, the ship itself was much closer to shore, a peculiar and very real cat refused to board, and there was that small matter of the mysterious silver bars. To top this all off, there was a curse (of course). That horrible event, although tragic got little press – just a few weeks later the attention grabbing headlines of the First World War drowned it out.
The cat with supposed powers of predestination, the silver bars, the odd sinking, a curse on the Captain of the Empress who just so happened to spot the murderer who killed his wife, the sneaky diamond purchaser who was torn apart by dogs… Who was the silver for? Why was it there? Then there's the 400 year old blood diamond and her stunning sister nobody talks about. And what about all those impossible coincidences?
Worse yet, all the strings connecting these coincidences disappeared, seemingly as if they were meant too.
Could this all be real?
Pull up a chair, sit back and cozy up to the fire. Pour yourself a mug of coffee and hope none of this is true.
