CPR Piers, Vancouver

A summer evening view of Burrard Inlet and the North Shore mountains sometime prior to 1938 - Pier D was destroyed by fire in July of that year. Pier A, partially visible on the left, was constructed in 1908, followed by the larger Pier D (1914) an Pier B & C in 1927. The ochre-funneled white liner at Pier B is Canadian Pacific's "Empress of Japan", at 26,000 tons, is the largest passenger carrier in regular service on the Pacific at the time. The "Niagara" at Pier C belonged to the Canadian Australasian Line in which CP had a half interest. At Pier D is the "Princess Kathleen" of the company's Coastal fleet. In the foreground is some railway activity in 'N' yard, including a passenger train pulling alongside one of the covered station platforms under the overpass from Cordova Street. The station, fronting on Cordova, is out of the picture to the right of the neon sign.
