11. Nova Scotian Joshua Slocum made the journey on his boat The Spray. He wrote about his voyage, which last from 1895 to 1898, in his classic book Sailing Alone Around the World. Slocum, who couldn't swim, disappeared while as sea in 1909.
13. yeah, here's what I learned. Some of the residents at Northwood (the nursing home where Dad works) were there - granted they were small children then, but those who are still communicative can tell you it in full detail. Interesting, but kinda creepy at the same time.
During the First World War, on December 6, 1917, a Belgian relief vessel collided with a French monition ship in Halifax Harbour setting off a fire that would create the largest man-made explosion prior to Hiroshima. Nearly 3 square kilometres (1.8 square miles) of the city were destroyed by the blast, the subsequent tidal wave, and fire. Over 10,600 of 50,000 citizens of Halifax were killed or injured in the tragedy.30. Sable Island, 300 kilometres
