In honour of the 100th anniversary of the Halifax Explosion, CBC Nova Scotia colourized several photos depicting life in the city immediately after the 1917 disaster. The colouring of the following photos are approximations based on research of the time period conducted by CBC Nova Scotia. In the aftermath of the explosion, a dead body is seen loaded on a sled for transportation on this cold, blustery winter day. The next morning, snow began to fall on the ruins of Halifax, hampering recovery efforts. In the days and weeks that followed the Halifax Explosion, public funerals, like this one, were held for victims.
