From the Annotated Time Table (Eastbound Edition) of the Canadian Pacific Railway for 1905, provided through the courtesy of member Don McCartney, comes the only printed deck plan we ever have seen for any of the early C. P. R. "sisterships". The illustration is of the cabin of ATHA­ BASCA and ALBERTA; MANITOBA'S cabin was generally similar although just a bit longer. The size of the individual staterooms can be judged by the fact that MANITOBA was only some thirty feet longer but had ten additional staterooms, presumably five on each side of the ship.
