Halifax Explosion
On December 6, 1917, the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia was rocked by a massive explosion after two ships collided in the harbor. One of them, the SS Mont-Blanc, was packed with explosives, and the resulting conflagration killed nearly 2,000 people and injured thousands more. The State of Maine was quick to respond. The Archives holds many documents from the Adjutant General records which document the aid Maine provided Halifax.
