A surprise twist in the investigation into a new image of the Halifax Explosion has found the exact spot the photo was taken. Historian Joel Zemel even found an archival photo of Stevens on the Acadia, likely taken months after the explosion. Mate Stevens is standing second from the right in this photo on HMCS Acadia, likely taken in 1918. Stevens took his photo from this ship, which is now a floating museum in Halifax harbour. The credit mentioned the Halifax Explosion, but he knew little of that event.
