(2) 4-6 In Halifax, on December 6, 1917, two ships collided in the harbor, one of them carrying an extraordinary amount of explosives. Walker sets the stage, then focuses on five families that lived in the waterfront neighborhoods. Through their eyes, we experience the explosion, devastating aftermath, and eventual rebuilding. Numerous black-and-white photographs, plus a couple of welcome maps, further chronicle events. Bib.
