CBC News: Explosion rocks Halifax waterfront But this explosion is nothing like the one that happened on December 6, 1917.
Dad’s mom lived through that one because she wasn’t at school that morning. Her school was leveled. Mom has a silver tea set that made it through the explosion although it was damaged. It was repaired with a note by the silversmith alluding to the explosion etched into the bottom.
