On December 6, 1917, the Halifax Explosion occurred when the SS Mont-Blanc, a French cargo ship laden with high-explosives, caught fire and exploded in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The blast was one of the largest man-made explosions prior to the atomic bomb, devastating the surrounding area, killing approximately 2,000 people, and injuring thousands more. The explosion caused extensive damage to the city, leading to significant humanitarian efforts in the aftermath. It remains one of the deadliest disasters in Canadian history.
