The Halifax Explosion: Canada's Worst Disaster On December 6, 1917, a devastating explosion rocked the harbour in Halifax, Nova Scotia, killing over 2,000 people instantly. The Mont-Blanc and Imo ships collided, sparking a fire that led to one of the largest man-made blasts prior to the atomic bomb. This book tells the gripping story behind the disaster, exploring the investigation into the accident, the histories of the ships involved, and the circumstances that brought them together. It raises questions about human error, negligence, harbour practices, and sabotage, shedding new light on a century-old tragedy. The Halifax Explosion is a fresh account that reveals the truth behind one of Canada's most momentous events.
