Empress collision mpeg

[Remco Hillen]

Hello,

I just came across this site when doing surfing through my bookmarks, it was posted on the TRMA board:

Empress of Ireland, Computer Animation

It is an animation of the collision, though it is without sound, it's still quite impressive.

The site has some other animations too, although most of it has little to do with ships.
The only other ship-related I could find is this one:

SS Atlantic, Side Paddle Steam Ship, Ship Wreck Computer Animation

web.archive.org

This has 2 animations of the paddlewheeler SS Atlantic, 1 collision and 1 of the engine.

Regards,
Remco

Thanks for the link. A very good bit of work there. I wonder if they made any more of the sinking?

This is really interesting, thanks for posting this. Its sad that this disaster is called the forgotten tragedy. No disaster where there is loss of life should ever be forgotten.

This is very interesting, thanks for posting that Remco.

I agree with Darren on both points.

Best regards,

Jason
