The Halifax Explosion

Today was spent hopping on and off a bus around Halifax Nova Scotia. Been many years since I was last here. On the morning of the 6 Dec 1917, the French cargo ship, SS Mont-Blanc collided with the Norwegian vessel SS Imo. The Mont-Blanc’s cargo of explosives caught fire devastating a large area of Halifax. This monument in the Memorial park stands in memory of those who lost their lives that day.
