Maritime of My Life (Pt. 60) - The Halifax Explosion Memorial
July 8, 2017 - There are many memorials, big and small, public and private, around the city of Halifax dedicated to the victims of the Halifax Explosion on December 6, 1917. The biggest, however, is the Halifax Explosion Bell Tower, located on the crest of a hill in Fort Needham Memorial Park, about one kilometre from the site of the explosion that fateful day.
Only one block away is Albert Street. My great-grandmother's first husband, Albert Charles Mattison, perished in the explosion and was awarded the Albert Medal posthumously by King George V for his act of gallantry in trying to save the city from the impending explosion that day.
Is the street name a coincidence? Maybe. Or IS it?

The Halifax Explosion
The Halifax Explosion was the largest man-made explosion prior to the atomic bomb.
On the morning of December 6, 1917, the Norwegian ship SS Imo and the French munitions ship SS Mont-Blanc collided in the narrows of the Halifax Harbour and exploded.
The force of the explosion devastated the city. It killed 2000 people and injured 9000 others. People were blinded by flying glass. Homes, schools and factories were wrecked. The fires that followed completed the destruction.
A severe winter storm on the next day, December 7, hampered rescue efforts. Relief trains from Boston and Montreal managed to get through with medical supplies. Financial assistance came from nations around the world including Great Britain, the United States, Russian and France.
Local relief organization was fast and effective. The Halifax Relief Commission, founded in January 1918 by the Canadian government, took over the administration of pensions, claims and reconstruction. The Commission continued for nearly 58 years, until June 1976.
Every year, the anniversary of the Halifax Explosion is marked by a memorial ceremony. This year, the ninetieth since the disaster, survivors gathered from across Canada, the United States and England to attend the memorial services. I joined them and tagged along to blog the ceremonies being held that day.

Episode 25: Fort Needham Memorial Park
Fort Needham was originally an outpost that was part of the Halifax Defence Complex. First established around 1778, the defence works served to protect the King's Yard and Naval Yard. On Dec. 6, 1917, Fort Needham and the rest of the North End of Halifax were destroyed in the Explosion. The Halifax Explosion was caused by the collision of the French munitions ship, SS Mont-Blanc and the Norwegian ship, SS Imo. This catastrophe left over 2000 people dead and 9000 people injured. It was the largest man-made explosion before the development of nuclear weaponry.
The Halifax Explosion Memorial Bell Tower was built and unveiled on June 5, 1985 to commemorate this dark event of Halifax's history. Every year on December 6th at 9:05 a.m., the bells on this tower chime to remember the tragedy.

Personal narrative by Harold Connolly.
transcription (read by actor)
Two men I knew well had miraculous escapes. William Pee Wee Shea had been standing watching the fire that preceded the explosion. They were perhaps a little better than a mile from the actual scene. The men on either side of him were killed. Shea woke up in intense darkness. He thought it must have been night. He realized he must have been on the ground and he wondered what had happened. He called his friends, but there was no response. Then he heard a voice which he recognized calling as if in search of someone. He shouted and the voice answered. The next thing Bill knew he was in a bed at Camp Hill Hospital suffering great pain. He was temporarily blind which accounted for the blackness. They later amputated an eye, fixed up his battered leg but they could do nothing with the livid blue scars that creased his face. He lived with all the evidences of the explosion for the rest of his life. He was forced to walk with a limp and he used to say You know I ought not to be alive.
The second one was the priceless character and I say character endearingly, Bernard Kid O'Neill. He lived then in the north end and he had been watching the fire from the roof of his house. The house had a basement kitchen. When the blast came Kid was catapulted though the roof of the house, through the first and second floors to the basement kitchen. The house, all but the basement, was completely demolished. He was found some hours later by a rescue squad. In some unaccountable manner a leg of the coal stove had imbedded itself in his chest. His face was lined with livid blue scars so common to explosion victims. He was rushed to hospital where he was not expected to recover. But he did, and lived to be 80, dispensing charity and good cheer; always with the traces of the blue scars on his face and the healed-over wound in his chest.
