1917.12.06 is a date few Maritimers will forget. Over two thousand dead and over nine thousand injured as the Mont Blanc went up in Halifax harbour in the largest man made explosion prior to the A-Bomb. While many Maritimers observed today with services and the like, many others also recall the generous contributions of support, both moral and material, from our friends of the New England States in the restoration of Halifax. 9/11 is in our hearts, 12/06 is in our memory. Thanks and right back at ya !!!
