This menu wasn’t used at the resort but on board the Empress of France, Canadian Pacific’s steamship that, like the Empress of Britain, connected Montreal with Liverpool. Of the two ships, the Empress of France was far older, having been built in 1928 as Canadian Pacific’s Duchess of Bedford. Having been pressed into war service, the ship was refitted in 1947 and was going to be called the Empress of India. However, that was considered bad form when India became independent in 1947, so the France name was used instead, replacing a previous Canadian Pacific ship of that name that had been scrapped in 1934.
