I suspect that Halifax is a "forgotten story" in the US, or at least in parts of it, but is in no way forgotten in Canada. Perhaps another example of the book being US-centric.

I had certainly never heard of the explosion, but we are on the other side of the world. (I was pleased to see that Australia sent aid, as did so many other countries.)
