Survivor of the Sinking of the Empress of Ireland : the Story of Frans Praksi
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The steamship Empress of Ireland was built to carry immigrants and other passengers across the North Atlantic between Quebec City and Liverpool. The company proclaimed that they offered the fastest and shortest passage across the Atlantic. The Empress of Ireland bound for Liverpool departed from Quebec City in the afternoon of May 28, 1914. There were 1,057 passengers and 420 crew members on board. In the early hours of May 29, 1914, shortly after the departure and in dense fog, the Empress of Ireland collided with the Norwegian coal carrier Storstad. Most of the passengers were asleep at the time of the collision and did not have time to save themselves, but drowned quickly. 1,015 people perished in the worst maritime disaster in Canadian history. The number of survivors was 462, a significant part of them members of the crew. On board the ship were 93 passengers heading for Finland; all of them traveling in third class. Only 21 of them survived, 72 drowned and vanished in the deep waters along with the ship. The Empress of Ireland faded into oblivion, because it sank only a few months before the outbreak of the First World War, and people had turned their attention elsewhere. These events were written down by Aulis Hirvelä, Frans’ grandson.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
