Blizzard of Glass The Halifax Explosion of 1917 By: Sally M. Walker Narrated by: Paul Michael Length: 2 hrs and 51 mins Unabridged Audiobook Young Adult Audiobook Condition: Withdrawn Library Audiobook with common library stickers and markings on case and discs, wear on case plastic from handling and shelf sitting, case insert a bit faded, all discs are there and have respectfully used surface wear, most look brand new. On December 6, 1917, two ships collided in Halifax Harbour. One ship was loaded top to bottom with munitions and one held relief supplies, both intended for war-torn Europe. The resulting blast flattened two towns, Halifax and Dartmouth, and killed nearly 2,000 people. As if that wasn’t devastating enough, a blizzard hit the next day, dumping more than a foot of snow on the area and paralyzing much-needed relief efforts. Fascinating, edge-of-your-seat storytelling based on original source material conveys this harrowing account of tragedy and recovery.
