On December 6, 1917, two ships collided in Halifax Harbour. One
ship was loaded top to bottom with munitions and the other held
relief supplies, both intended for wartorn Europe. The resulting
blast flattened two towns, Halifax and Dartmouth, and killed nearly
2,000 people. As if that wasn't devastating enough, a blizzard hit
the next day, dumping more than a foot of snow on the area and
paralyzing much-needed relief efforts. Fascinating,
edge-of-your-seat storytelling based on original source material
conveys this harrowing account of tragedy and recovery.
