SUMMARY:Archival Lecture Series: The Halifax Collision - Newburyport Public Library
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Newburyport Public Library for a series of presentations on various topics in local history.\n\nOn December 6th\, 1917\, during the height of the First World War\, two ships trying to navigate Halifax Harbour collided\, resulting in the largest man-made explosion in the pre-atomic age. Essex Heritage Trustee\, David Read\, will recount the events leading up to this devastating tragedy and the impressive Massachusetts rescue effort. Relive the personal stories and riveting details of the weeks that followed - and learn about the important train to ever travel through Essex County. And learn why the citizens of Nova Scotia still send a special gift or appreciation each year.\n\nArchival Lecture series dates are February 11\, February 25\, and March 4.
