The Great Halifax Explosion: 100th Anniversary Presentation
The Halifax Explosion of 1917 happened when a French cargo ship collided with another ship on Dec. 6 in Halifax Harbour, killing more than 2,000 people. Foreign assistance came within minutes from American and British navy ships. The blast was front-page news around the world and more help arrived within days. Massachusetts dispatched a trainload of doctors, nurses and medical supplies, and to this day the great Christmas tree in Boston Common is given by Nova Scotia as a thank you gesture.
Historian David Read, will recount the events leading up to this devastating tragedy and the impressive Massachusetts rescue effort. Relive the personal stories and riveting details of the weeks that followed.
