When a ship the SS Mont-Blanc caught fire after a collision with another ship the cargo of high explosives detonated devastating a large portion of Halifax and killing nearly 1800 people. Another 9000 were hurt and over 6000 people were left homeless. The explosion was so powerful the Mont-Blanc's 90-mm gun landed 3 1/2 miles away and the shank of the ships anchor weighing over 1100 pounds was found two miles away. It is in good unposted condition. (see photos for a better idea of the condition). A great card for any collection of disaster memorabilia.
