| Summary | "The Halifax Catastrophe" by Royal Print & Litho Limited is a historical account published in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the devastating explosion that occurred on December 6th, 1917, in Halifax, Canada, outlining the catastrophic events that transpired and their impact on the city’s inhabitants. The publication aims to detail this tragic moment in history through powerful imagery and accounts of the disaster’s aftermath. The book presents a collection of forty views highlighting the extent of the destruction caused by the explosion of the French steamer "Mont Blanc," which was carrying a cargo of explosive materials. Following a collision with the Norwegian vessel "Imo," the subsequent blast resulted in the loss of approximately 1,500 lives, left over 3,000 injured, and rendered 6,000 people homeless, with damages estimated at nearly $50 million. The narrative captures the chaos and heroism in the wake of the disaster, detailing the immediate response from local citizens and outside communities, as well as the ongoing efforts for recovery and reconstruction in Halifax. The illustrations serve as a somber reminder of the tragedy, while the text commemorates both the human suffering and the spirit of resilience in the face of such overwhelming catastrophe.
