Routes
On arrival Sophia was put on the route from Victoria to Prince Rupert, BC. The next summer CPR assigned Sophia to run once every two weeks from Victoria to Skagway, Alaska, alternating with SS Princess May, and stopping in Prince Rupert along the way. Occasionally Sophia was diverted to other routes, such as an excursion to Bellingham, Washington. In 1914 the Great War began and with Canada as a participant, early wartime economic disruption resulted in a sharp decline of business for the CPR fleet, and a number of vessels, including Princess Sophia were temporarily taken out of service by November 1914. Sophia and other CPR vessels transported troops raised for service in Europe.

Famous quotes containing the word routes:
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
