When I was a kid my family often went to Nova Scotia in the summer. I remember going through Halifax and hearing about the explosion. I saw the anchor of the Mont Blanc that was blown so far away. Still have a book about it here somewhere. An amazing story. Such tales of heroism from ordinary people - many of them children. All the more amazing is how little it is remembered.
