Another lithograph of the Charlotte, again in the First Narrows and published by T.N. Hibben, Victoria. Postmarked 1909 on the back and Cowichan Station on the front..  |

A great find for me today, a RPPC of the version directly above. Velox stamp box dates it between 1907-1917. No publisher, but possibly a Trio card, the title lettering is consistent with Trio. Definitely the photo version of the lithograph above.  |

Hmm, this could have gone under the Iroquois or the Princess Charlotte, but I'll go with the Charlotte. Postmarked 1914 with a nice George V stamp still on the back.  |

Nice little addition to the collection...a 1929 passenger list from the Princess Adelaide, but showing the Princess Charlotte on the cover.  |

Did you give us a photo of the Prince George when Charlotte's big brother was launched?
There are quite a few ex CPR or CNR boats that can be linked to actual members of the British Royal Family (both current & historical).

There are quite a few ex CPR or CNR boats that can be linked to actual members of the British Royal Family (both current & historical). I was discussing that with Mrs. Horn yesterday, and I pointed out that there would be a high probability of the new princess's name matching one of the early 20th century local steamships. Re the Prince George ship, I prefer the first Prince George (the GTP ship). Much nicer as a 3-stack ship, than the 2nd one. Just my opinion. ------------ Perhaps there is a strange parallel universe somewhere where a Royal couple names a prince or princess "Island Sky." |
