On December 6, 1917, the Belgian relief vessel Imo struck the munitions-laden freighter Mont-Blanc in Halifax Harbour. The Mont-Blanc exploded in a devastating 2.9 kiloton blast, killing 2,000 people and injuring 9,000. More than 6,000 people were made homeless, and an additional 12,000 left without shelter.
Join Michael Dupuis, author of The Woman reporter and the Halifax explosion, to live the story of this disaster through the eyes and words of more than twenty journalists who reported the magnitude of the blast to the rest of the world.
