Halifax Explosion


Halifax Explosion: Minute by Minute
Terra Incognita

I'm reading The Surgeon's Mate, volume 7 in Patrick O'Brian's epic saga of the British Royal Navy in the time of Napoleon. The story opens in Halifax, Nova Scotia (far eastern Canada). I've heard of Halifax, have I mentioned it before? Yes, I have. Halifax is where there was a big explosion a hundred years ago. I remember reading about this, and I thought I saw a video about it. Well, maybe I did, but it's not in my blog. Looking around I found this one, and it's pretty good, so here we are.
