Stanley Park - Empress of Japan

Adding a touch of history at a viewpoint in Stanley Park is a replica of a figurehead from the Canadian Pacific Line's "Empress of Japan". The ship plied the Pacific Ocean between Vancouver and east Asian ports from 1891 to 1922. A rock at the water's edge in front of the figurehead provides the setting for Vancouver's equivalent of the Copenhagen Mermaid, although Elek Imredy's Canadian girl, sports a wet suit and dive mask.

The Empress of Japan is a bit of an icon in Stanley Park and is often referred to as the Stanley Park Mermaid.
