		Because the Empress of Ireland sank so quickly in fourteen minutes, many of the lifesaving procedures could not be accomplished.

		Although relatively shallow in depth, the Empress is very cold with water ranges of 28-37 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the summer, the currents are extremely swift and it is very, very dark on the ship-as very little surface ambient light can make it down to the wrecksite.
