Canada (ship)

The Canada refers to several ships, primarily passenger liners, that have sailed under various flags. Notable examples include:

• RMS Canada (1861): A wooden paddle steamer built for the Cunard Line. She primarily served on the transatlantic route between Liverpool and North America.

• RMS Canada (1896): A steel-hulled steam turbine passenger liner built for the Dominion Line. She carried passengers and mail across the Atlantic, and was later used as a troop transport during World War I. After the war, she continued in passenger service before being scrapped.

These are not the only ships to bear the name Canada, and historical records may reveal others. The specific history and details of any ship named Canada depend on the vessel in question and can be found in maritime records, historical archives, and shipping company documentation. When researching a specific Canada, it is important to clarify dates of service, ownership, and function to avoid confusion between different vessels.
