Princess Royal (1906 steamship)

Princess Royal was a wooden steamship built in 1907 for the Canadian Pacific Railway Coast Service.

Princess Royal was ordered by James W. Troup, superintendent of the coastal steamship service of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and was intended to run on routes north of Vancouver along the coast of British Columbia and southeast Alaska.

[1] The ship's dimensions were 228 feet (69 m) long, 40-foot (12 m) beam, 17-foot (5.2 m) depth of hold, and 1997 gross tons.

[6] Princess Royal began its first Alaska trip from Victoria, British Columbia on July 18, 1907 under the command of Captain W.O.

It was on the Seattle route that Princess Royal became involved in the 1908 rate war between the CPR and the Puget Sound Navigation Company.

After all metal salvage was removed, in August 1934 the hulk was deliberately burned off Albert Head near Victoria.
