Empress of Ireland?  Sure, I've heard of it.

Sister ship to Empress of Britain, owned by the Canadian Pacific 
Railway.  Built in Scotland.  Sunk in 1914, after being rammed 
amidships in her starboard side by the coal collier Storstad.  If I 
recall correctly, they never figured out exactly why the collision 
happened.  It happened in thick fog, but other than that, there were 
many conflicting details.
