Imperial is a floating palace on the voyage to Cailao
The writer describes the Imperial, a floating electric palace with a promenade deck, owned by Compania Sud-Americana De Vapores, sailing Panama to Valparaiso with ports along the way. Panama Bay appears misty yet beautiful, likened to Rio’s harbor, with Emerald islets and Panama’s red tiled towers in view. A distant castle remnant marks old Panama, as Morgan and followers once attacked. More on the subject promised by the bucolic correspondent.
