 t. Nor would anyone again\, until 1945 when an atomic bomb nicknamed &ldqu
 o\;Little Boy&rdquo\; was dropped on Hiroshima.<br />&nbsp\;<br />When the
  munitions ship&nbsp\;Mont-Blanc&nbsp\;suddenly exploded in Halifax Harbou
 r on December 6\, 1917\, the 2.9 kiloton blast instantly incinerated the s
 hip and vaporized everything near it\, causing a swath of death and destru
 ction over ten square kilometres of Halifax and Dartmouth.<br />&nbsp\;<br
  />Over 2\,000 men\, women and children were killed\, 9\,000 were injured\
 , more than 200 were partially blinded\, and some lost all sight. Six thou
 sand people were made homeless\, and an additional 12\,000 were left witho
 ut shelter.<br />&nbsp\;<br />Based on his book&nbsp\;<em>Bearing Witness<
 /em>\, author and historian Michael Dupuis will tell the story of Canada&r
 squo\;s greatest Maritime disaster through the eyewitness accounts of jour
