i live right here in halifax. the town clock still reads 9:05 from that horrible day in 1917 AND people had 18 year olds in the war at the time. I feel horrible for them.

The Mont Blanc was supposed to be there the night before but was late so the u-boat nets made it wait until morning. Both ship were supposed to be using a pilot ship but didn't. Carelessness is what caused it and all we learned from it was how to make an atomic more destructive.
Great video. You should have mentioned the snow storm a few days later that devastated the city's makeshift outdoor hospital. Also, how amazing the people of Boston were. They deserve a better christmas tree than us.

@equarg Yeah that's a good idea. i should write about that. My grandfather use to make wooden replicas of some of the boats that came in to the harbour. He put a lot of time and great detail into every ship and sailboat he made. I wish we kept them, but they somehow got lost over the years. I think we still have pictures of them though,now that I think of it.



I really think hollywood should make a film about this.
RIP to all those that lost their lives in this tragic accident
