Tubaist uabhasach Halifax an Alba Nuadh le c貌rr is 2,000 a' call am beatha. The Halifax Explosion of December 6, 1917, the maritime disaster in which over 2,000 lost their lives.

Air madainn an 6mh den D霉bhlachd bha am b脿ta Nirribheach SS Imo a' de脿namh a slighe a-mach 脿 Cala Halifax air a slighe dhan Bheilg le carago air b貌rd. Aig an aon 脿m bha an soitheach Frangach SS Mont Blanc a' de脿namh a slighe a-steach dhan chala 's i a' feitheamh air conbhoidh a bheireadh tarsainn a' Chuan Siar i. Bha i luma l脿n de stuthan spreadhaidh. Cha robh bratach dearg air am Mont Blanc ag innse gun robh uidheaman spreadhaidh air b貌rd, ach cha robh sin ach p脿irt dhen trioblaid, oir an 脿ite cumail ri taobh Halifax ghe脿rr an Imo tarsainn air am Mont Blanc agus mus rachadh aca air bacadh air ais, bha iad air bualadh na ch猫ile.

Cluinnidh sin bho Ghilleasbuig MacDh貌mhnaill mar a thachair agus mar a chailleadh c貌ignear 脿 Barraigh air soitheach eile sa chala, an SS Curaca.
