HALIFAX (FORT MASSEY) MEMORIAL Nova Scotia, Canada
On the morning of the 6th December, 1917, a collision took place in Halifax Harbour between a Belgian relief ship and a French vessel loaded with ammunition; and in the resulting explosion half a square mile of the city was destroyed and 1,500 lives were lost. Two hospitals were ruined, and one damaged. The memorial, situated in Halifax (Fort Massey) Cemetery, commemorates two men who were killed in this explosion and whose bodies were not recovered.
