We are heading to the waters
edge in Halifax, NS today. We spent most
of our day at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, where we learned about
Halifax’s role in the rescue of the survivors and floating non-survivors from
the Titantic.
We also learned about the
Halifax Explosion, in 1917, which was the largest manmade explosion prior to nuclear
weapons. Two ships ran into each other
in the harbour, one of them laden with wartime explosives. Approx 2,000 were killed
and 9,000 injured.
