Betty Clarke Pearson collection

  • RBSC-ARC-1819
  • Collection
  • 1939-2003

This collection consists of correspondence and published materials gathered by Betty Clarke Pearson about the last voyage of Empress of Canada that was sunk by an Italian submarine on March 14th, 1943. Betty's father, John St.Claire Clarke, was the chief officer of Empress of Canada at the time of the attack. He survived while nearly 400 others were lost. Betty gathered these documents which include newspaper clippings, photographs, correspondence, and a memorandum speech, reflecting stories of her father along with other survivors of the attack.

Memograms

98 memograms in a specifically-designed folder. Memograms are defined by CP as "pictorial memoranda produced by artists on board and issued from time to time at luncheon and dinner during the entire cruise". These are from a Canadian Pacific South America-Africa Cruise in 1929 aboard the Duchess of Atholl. It is likely that this constitutes a complete set.
