SS Princess Alice
was a passenger vessel in the coastal fleet of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR).
She was built by
Swan Hunter
in the UK and launched on May 29, 1911. The ship was called a "pocket liner" because she offered amenities like a great ocean liner, but on a smaller scale. The
Princess Alice
was one of four sister ships built for CPR during 1910–1911. In 1913,
Princess Alice
made several special Alaskan cruises through the inside passage at reduced rate of round trip. In 1949, the ship was sold to Typaldos Lines, and she was renamed SS
Aegaeon.
The ship was wrecked in tow at Civitavecchia in December 1966.
